How to use

Shake each bottle gently before use to ensure pigment is evenly distributed. Apply paints with a fine synthetic or sable brush in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding highlights or shadows. For smoother blends, dilute with a little water or a compatible acrylic medium and use glazing strokes. Clean brushes with water immediately after use. For metal or glossy plastic surfaces, prepare by degreasing and, if required, apply a suitable primer to improve adhesion and durability.

Usage recommendations

For best results when painting miniatures, start with a mid-tone base from the set, build shadows with darker shades and apply lighter tones sparingly for highlights. Use thin layers and patience rather than heavy coats to preserve detail. Seal finished work with an appropriate varnish once fully dry.
