Acrylic paint Army Painter Shark White 18 ml — white miniature paint

Army Painter Shark White is a water-based liquid acrylic paint in a compact 18 ml bottle, formulated for miniature and model painting. This white acrylic is non-toxic and intended for both brush work and airbrushing on wargaming miniatures, terrain pieces and hobby models. The Warpaints Air formulation is pre-mixed and airbrush-ready, made with ultra-filtered vibrant pigment and supplied with two steel mixing balls to ensure consistent flow and even coverage.

Advantages

Shark White provides smooth, opaque white coverage that is suitable for fine detail work and layering. The paint requires no thinning for most airbrush setups and comes pre-mixed to deliver consistent colour straight from the bottle. Its water-based formula cleans up with water and is non-toxic when used as directed, making it practical for hobbyists focused on minis and terrain. The Triad System compatibility allows easy pairing with matching Base and Highlight shades for efficient highlighting and zenithal shading workflows.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing and brush painting of wargaming miniatures
• Basecoating and layering on scale models and figures
• Painting terrain, scenic elements and hobby conversions
• Zenithal shading and highlight workflows when used with matching Triad colours

How to use

Shake the bottle thoroughly to activate the included mixing balls and ensure pigment is evenly suspended. For brush work, apply directly from the bottle or pour a small amount into a palette; thin with water sparingly if a more translucent glaze is needed. For airbrushing, use the paint straight from the bottle in most standard hobby airbrushes; test spray and adjust pressure as required. Allow paint layers to dry between coats before applying highlights or varnish. Follow general safety and ventilation practices when airbrushing.

Usage recommendations

When combining colours for zenithal shading or highlights, pair Shark White with its matching Triad Base and Highlight shades in the Warpaints system. Clean tools and airbrushes with water immediately after use. Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to preserve consistency.
