Paint marker Army Painter Speedpaint Marker Caribbean Ocean (Blue) TAPSM1040P

Army Painter Speedpaint Marker Caribbean Ocean (Blue) is a single-piece paint marker prefilled with the brand’s Speedpaint 2.0 formula. Designed for hobbyists and miniature painters, the marker delivers a ready-to-use Caribbean Ocean blue pigment that combines basecoat, shadows and highlights in one coat. The Felt‑Tech tip provides controlled flow and accuracy for quick detailing, basecoating and touch-ups without the need for palettes, water cups or additional mixing.

Advantages

The Speedpaint 2.0 formula inside the marker is formulated to produce shading and highlights in a single pass, saving time compared with traditional brush painting. The felt tip ensures consistent paint flow and fine control for edges and small areas, while the marker format makes painting mobile and reduces setup and cleanup.

Suitable for

• Quick basecoating of small to medium miniatures
• Detailing and edge highlights on models and terrain
• Touch-ups and on-the-go painting during hobby sessions or at events

When it may not be suitable

The marker is intended for hobby and miniature painting; it may be less suitable for very large surfaces or projects requiring large-volume coverage where brush or spray methods are more efficient. Extremely fine glazing or very thin translucent layers that require precise dilution are also better achieved with traditional paint and brush techniques.

Key specifications

• Color: Caribbean Ocean (blue)
• Paint system: Ready-to-use Speedpaint 2.0 formula
• Applicator: Felt‑Tech tip for controlled flow and precision
• Format: Single-piece marker, prefilled

How to use

Shake the marker well before use, then uncap and depress the tip briefly to load paint if needed. Apply directly to the miniature in smooth strokes, using the tip for fine lines and the side of the tip for broader coverage. Allow the coat to dry before adding additional passes or sealing. No palette or water is required; clean the tip between colours by wiping on a rag.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that Caribbean Ocean blue matches your planned colour scheme.
• Consider marker format for portability versus traditional brush and pot mixes.
• Not intended as a replacement for priming or for covering very large surfaces efficiently.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use over a suitable primer and test on a spare piece or sprue to get a feel for flow and coverage. Store capped horizontally in a cool, dry place and recap immediately after use to prevent tip drying.
