Supplied in a compact 3 g liquid bottle, this Speedpaint provides opaque black coverage that combines basecoat, shading and highlight effects in one application.

Advantages

Speedpaint Grim Black is engineered as a one-coat painting solution that reduces time spent on repetitive layering while delivering intense shading and a subtle highlight effect. The fluid formula flows evenly over model surfaces, providing consistent coverage and good contrast across textured details. Because it is ready to use out of the bottle, no thinning or complex mixing is required for standard basecoating and shading tasks.

Suitable for

• Basecoating and shading of primed plastic miniatures
• Quick painting of resin and metal models for tabletop gaming
• Achieving fast contrast and dark tones on textured surfaces
• Speed-painting batches of miniatures where time efficiency is important

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigment and medium are evenly mixed. Apply a single, even coat directly over a primed miniature using an appropriate brush, covering the target area without overloading. Allow the paint to flow into recesses to create natural shading and leave raised areas with the built-in highlighting effect. If needed, apply additional thin coats for full opacity or touch-ups after the first coat has dried.

Usage recommendations

For best results, work on a primed surface and test flow on a spare piece or base. Use a medium-sized brush for even coverage and clean the brush promptly with water after use. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children under 36 months.
