FAQs
What is the primary use of the Speedpaint Marker?
The Speedpaint Marker is primarily used for applying quick, vibrant yellow details and accents to miniatures, offering instant shadows and highlights.
Can I use this marker for entire miniatures?
While possible, the marker is best suited for details and accents. Painting an entire miniature may be time-consuming and less economical than using brush-on paints.
How do I prevent the marker tip from drying out?
Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use. Store the marker horizontally or tip-down.
What is the difference between this marker and brush-on Speedpaint?
The marker offers greater portability and precision for small details, while brush-on Speedpaint is better for larger surfaces and potentially more advanced techniques.
Can I mix the Speedpaint formula from the marker with other paints?
The marker contains Speedpaint 2.0 formula. While it can be used alongside other acrylic paints, mixing the marker's ink directly with other mediums is not recommended and may affect performance.
What is the recommended age for this product?
This product is recommended for adult hobbyists.
Does it require any special preparation before use?
No special preparation is needed beyond ensuring the surface being painted is primed. Shake gently before use if needed.
Troubleshooting
Marker not flowing well
Shake the marker gently. If still not flowing, the tip may be dry; recap firmly for 10 minutes, or gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp cloth.
Streaky application
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply with smooth, consistent strokes. For broader areas, consider if a brush-on Speedpaint might be more suitable.
Tip feels stiff or dry
Recap the marker tightly and let it rest tip-down for a few minutes. Avoid excessive pressure on the tip during use.
Color appears too thin
Allow the first coat to dry completely, then apply a second coat for increased opacity or depth. The marker is designed for speed, and multiple thin coats can build coverage.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Speedpaint Marker is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply uncap the marker and begin painting. Shake gently before use if the paint flow seems inconsistent.
Compatibility: This marker is designed for use on primed miniatures. It works well over various primer types, including black, white, and grey.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the Felt-Tech tip from drying out. Store the marker horizontally or with the tip facing down to ensure paint saturation. If the tip becomes clogged with paint, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth (not wet) and allow it to air dry before recapping.
