The Citadel Layer Paint in Evil Sunz Scarlet is designed for miniature painters seeking a vibrant red acrylic. Its primary benefit is the ability to apply thin, successive layers for a rich, natural finish directly over Citadel Base paints without mixing. A caveat is that it's specifically formulated for Citadel miniatures and may require different handling on other surfaces. Key features include its non-toxic, water-based acrylic formulation, 12ml pot size, and suitability for plastic, metal, and resin models.

Citadel Layer paints are designed to work best within the Citadel system. While they may mix with other water-based acrylics, results can be unpredictable in terms of adhesion and finish.
Apply the paint in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry partially before applying the next. You can also use washes or glazes to blend tones.
Rinse your brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use. For stubborn paint, use a dedicated brush soap or cleaner.
Citadel Layer paints are generally not recommended for airbrushing without significant thinning and the addition of specific airbrush mediums. Dedicated Citadel Air paints are available for airbrush use.
With proper care and avoiding drying out, a 12ml pot can last for a considerable time, depending on the frequency and scale of your painting projects.
Base paints are thicker, more opaque, and designed to provide a solid foundation color. Layer paints are thinner and designed for applying highlights and finer details over the base coat.
Thin the paint with a small amount of water or Citadel Medium. Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one thick one.
Use a wet palette, or add a tiny amount of acrylic retarder or Citadel Medium to your paint on the palette.
Ensure the pot was shaken vigorously before use. If the issue persists, the paint may have degraded and should be replaced.
Ensure you are applying it over the recommended Citadel Base paint. Color can appear different depending on the undertones of the base coat.
Setup: Citadel Layer paints are ready to use straight from the pot. For best results, shake the pot thoroughly before opening to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Apply using a suitable miniature paintbrush, loading the brush with a small amount of paint. Thin coats are recommended; if the paint is too thick, add a small amount of water or Citadel Medium to achieve the desired consistency.
Compatibility: This paint is designed to be used directly over Citadel Base paints and other Citadel Layer paints. It is also compatible with Citadel technical paints and washes. While it can be used on other brands of miniatures and materials, performance may vary. It adheres well to primed plastic, metal, and resin surfaces.
Care: To maintain the paint's quality, always ensure the pot lid is securely closed after use to prevent drying. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean your brushes immediately after use with water to prevent the acrylic from drying on the bristles. If the paint does dry in the pot, a small amount of water may help rehydrate it, though performance might be slightly altered.
