Benefits of SpeedPaints

achieve professional-looking results in a fraction of the time it would take
using traditional methods.

2.Consistency:
With their smooth, self-leveling formula, SpeedPaints provide a consistent
finish, helping to eliminate brushstrokes and ensuring even coverage.

3.Versatility:

4.Easy
to use: SpeedPaints are beginner-friendly and can be easily applied using a
brush or airbrush.

Tips for Using SpeedPaints

1.Preparation:
Before applying SpeedPaints, make sure your miniature is clean and primed. A
good primer will help the paint adhere better and provide a consistent surface
for the SpeedPaints to work on. It is reccomended that you base your models with white primer.  Other colors of primer will give different results than expected.

2.Shake
well: SpeedPaints can separate over time, so it’s essential to shake the bottle
well before use to ensure the paint is properly mixed.

3.Thin
coats: Apply thin, even coats of SpeedPaints, allowing each layer to dry before
applying the next. This will help you achieve a smooth, consistent finish
without obscuring the miniature’s details.

4.Use
a wet palette: A wet palette can help extend the working time of your
SpeedPaints, making it easier to blend colors and achieve smooth transitions
between shades.

5.Complementary
products: To enhance the look of your miniatures, consider using complementary
products from The Army Painter, such as washes, metallics, and effects. These
products can help you achieve even more depth and realism in your finished
figures.
