Acrylic paint Army Painter Hardened Leather 18 ml — brown, liquid

Army Painter Hardened Leather acrylic paint in brown comes in an 18 ml bottle formulated for hobby and miniature painting. This liquid acrylic is suitable for both basecoats and detailed work on small surfaces, offering a compact option for creating leather effects, straps, boots and other brown elements on models and miniatures. Supplied as a single 18 ml bottle with a net weight of 3 g, the paint is intended for adult hobbyists and is not suitable for children under 36 months.

Advantages

The liquid formulation provides smooth flow and consistent coverage across small surfaces. As part of Army Painter's Speedpaint approach, this paint offers high contrast with integrated shading and highlighting effects, helping to reduce the number of layers required. Its compact 18 ml format is convenient for storage and travel, and it adapts well to both basecoating and detailed brushwork on miniatures.

Suitable for

• One-coat or basecoat application on primed miniatures
• Painting leather details such as belts, boots and straps
• Hobby modelling, tabletop miniatures and wargaming figures
• Touch-ups and small-area detailing on models

Key specifications

• Colour: brown
• Volume: 18 ml
• Formulation: liquid acrylic paint
• Finish: high-contrast with integrated shading and highlighting
• Recommended substrate: primed miniature surfaces (plastic, resin, metal)
• Intended use: basecoat and detail work on small surfaces

How to use

Apply over a properly primed miniature. For Speedpaint-style results, use a single rich coat applied evenly with a brush, allowing the paint to flow into recesses to create shading while leaving raised areas lighter. For finer details or heavier coverage, apply multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution and clean the brush with water after painting.

Usage recommendations

Test the paint on a spare piece or underside of the model to confirm flow and coverage. Work in thin layers when blending with other acrylics, and allow adequate drying time between coats. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of young children.
