Product Information
Full details
Citadel Base Paint in Rakarth Flesh is an essential tool for miniature painters and Warhammer hobbyists looking for a reliable, high-coverage pigment to start their painting process. It is specifically designed to provide a smooth, solid matte foundation on plastic, resin, or metal models with minimal effort. While the 12ml pot is perfect for standard projects, users should be mindful that because it is a highly pigmented base coat, it may require thinning with a small amount of water to achieve the smoothest possible finish on larger surface areas.

FAQs
Does Rakarth Flesh require a primer?
Yes, while it has high coverage, applying a spray primer first ensures better adhesion and long-term durability of your paint job.
Can I use this on metal miniatures?
Absolutely. Citadel Base paints are formulated to adhere to plastic, resin, and metal alike.
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
Yes, once fully cured, the acrylic resin becomes water-resistant, though it is recommended to seal the model with a varnish.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Simply rinse your brush in clean water. For stubborn paint, use a specialized brush soap.
Is this a metallic paint?
No, Rakarth Flesh is a matte, non-metallic base color.
Can I mix this with other Citadel colors?
Yes, all Citadel acrylic paints are fully intermixable to create custom shades.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clumping or too thick
Transfer a small amount to a palette and mix in a drop of water until smooth.
Paint is drying in the pot
Ensure the lid is pressed down until it clicks and store in a cool area; add a drop of water if needed.
Visible brush strokes on the model
Thin the paint further and apply two thinner coats rather than one heavy, thick coat.
Pros and Cons

- Works perfectly over both light and dark primers
- Easy to clean up with water

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rakarth Flesh paint, always ensure the lid is snapped shut securely after every use to prevent the acrylic medium from evaporating. If the paint becomes slightly thick over time, you can add a drop of water or an acrylic medium thinner to restore the desired consistency.
This paint is fully compatible with all other products in the Citadel range, including Shades, Dry paints, and Layer paints. After finishing your session, wash your brushes immediately with water and a mild brush soap to maintain the integrity of the bristles. Store your pots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature drying or pigment separation.
