Palette, Army Painter Speed Palette by Army Painter — reusable wet palette for miniature painting

The Army Painter Speed Palette is a reusable wet palette designed for miniature and model painting. It maintains acrylic paints in a workable state for extended periods, reduces surface drying, and offers a non-stick mixing surface that facilitates colour blending and smooth brushwork for small-scale projects.

Advantages

The Speed Palette preserves paint moisture to extend open time, helping achieve consistent paint viscosity across sessions. Its non-stick surface allows easy mixing and smooth pickup with a brush, while the reusable design reduces waste and recurring consumable costs. The palette’s construction supports controlled thinning and gradual blending without rapid skinning of paints.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures, figures and scale models
• Colour mixing and glaze preparation
• Layering, blending and detail work with acrylics
• Hobbyists and tabletop gamers who need consistent paint flow

Key specifications

• Reusable wet palette format suitable for acrylic paints
• Non-stick mixing surface for easy colour blending
• Design to retain moisture and reduce paint drying
• Compact size and shape suitable for small-scale painting setups
• Easy to clean and maintain for repeated use

How to use

Place a damp sponge or hydrated absorbent layer into the base, then cover it with the provided non-stick sheet. Dispense small amounts of acrylic paint onto the non-stick surface and close the lid when not actively painting to preserve moisture. Work directly from the palette, mixing colours as needed; clean the surface after each session with mild soap and water and replace the absorbent layer when it becomes worn or contaminated.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or clean water to hydrate the absorbent layer for more consistent moisture control. Store paints in small aliquots on the non-stick surface to avoid cross-contamination, and refresh the sponge periodically to maintain optimal humidity and prevent bacterial growth.
