Product Information
Full details
Citadel Shade Paint in Coelia Greenshade is an essential tool for miniature painters looking to add realistic depth and professional-looking shadows to their hobby projects with minimal effort. Designed for Warhammer enthusiasts and model painters, this water-based acrylic flows effortlessly into the recesses of plastic, metal, and resin figures to highlight fine details. While it excels at creating smooth, matt transitions, users should be mindful that it can leave unintended stains on flat surfaces if not managed with a clean brush during application.

FAQs
Do I need to thin Coelia Greenshade before use?
Generally, no. It is formulated to be used straight from the pot, but you can thin it with water if you prefer a more subtle, translucent effect.
Can I use this on top of a metallic base coat?
Yes, Coelia Greenshade is excellent for tinting metallic paints, giving them a rich, shadowed green hue.
Is this paint waterproof once it dries?
It is water-resistant, but as an acrylic paint, it is recommended to apply a varnish over your finished model to protect the paint job from wear.
How do I clean my brushes after using shade paint?
Simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean tap water until the water runs clear. For deep cleaning, use a mild brush soap.
Can I mix this with other Citadel paints?
You can mix it with other shades to create custom tones, though mixing it with thicker layer paints will change its consistency and flow properties.
Troubleshooting
The shade is leaving ugly stains on flat areas.
Use a clean, damp brush to 'wick' away excess paint from flat areas immediately after application.
The paint looks too dark or muddy.
Try thinning the shade slightly with a tiny amount of water or a dedicated acrylic thinner medium before applying.
The shade doesn't flow into the recesses.
Ensure your model is fully base-coated, as paint flows better over smooth surfaces. If the surface is too glossy or textured, the shade may sit on top.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using, ensure your miniature is primed and base-coated to provide a proper surface for the acrylic to bond with. Shake the pot thoroughly before opening to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Always use a dedicated brush for shading—a medium-sized sable or synthetic round brush is usually sufficient. After painting, rinse your brush immediately in clean water to prevent pigment from drying in the bristles. Store pots upright in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is snapped completely shut after each use to prevent the paint from thickening or drying out prematurely.
