Acrylic effect paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Effects: Oil Stains — Black, transparent liquid, 1 pc

Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Effects: Oil Stains — Black is a transparent, acrylic effect paint supplied as a single 1 pc bottle designed to produce oil-stain, grime and streaking effects on miniatures, scale models, vehicles and diorama scenery. The product is a glossy to semi-transparent black liquid intended for application in crevices, around panel lines and on surfaces where streaking and weathering are required, helping to enhance realism and visual depth.

Advantages

This acrylic effect paint offers a controlled transparent finish that lets base colours and surface details show through while adding dark oil-stain tones. Its fluid consistency enables streaking, pooling and subtle shading without obscuring fine sculptural details. The glossy character of the formula can be used straight or blended for more subdued, semi-matte results, making it versatile for a range of weathering tasks on miniatures and models.

Suitable for

• Adding oil stains and grime to scale model vehicles and armour
• Creating streaking and pooling effects on diorama scenery
• Shading crevices, panel lines and recesses on tabletop miniatures
• Enhancing realism on weathered bases and terrain pieces

Key specifications

• Type: Acrylic effect paint (transparent)
• Finish: Glossy to semi-transparent black
• Formulation: Liquid suitable for streaking and pooling effects
• Package: Single 1 pc bottle

How to use

Apply the Oil Stains — Black directly from the bottle or with a fine brush to areas where oil streaking or grime is desired. Use vertical strokes for streaking, apply small amounts into recesses for pooling, or thin with a compatible acrylic medium if a subtler effect is required. Allow the paint to settle and dry between layers; multiple thin applications build depth while preserving underlying detail.

Usage recommendations

For controlled results, test the effect on a spare piece or hidden area first. Use a clean brush and remove excess paint with a damp brush or cotton bud while still wet to create natural streaks. When blending into matte surfaces, apply a light glaze or matt varnish afterward if you need to reduce gloss.
