Product Information
Full details
Two Thin Coats Acrylic Paint by Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy is designed for hobbyists of all experience levels who prioritize consistent coverage and ease of use. The paint utilizes a unique Triad Colour System that simplifies the process of layering, shading, and highlighting miniatures. While these paints offer high-quality pigment density for professional-grade finishes, users should note that the 15ml bottle size is specifically optimized for small-scale detail work, which may require more frequent refilling for large-surface projects.

FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using Two Thin Coats?

Can these paints be used in an airbrush?
Yes, they can be used in an airbrush, though you will need to thin them down with an appropriate acrylic thinner to prevent clogging.
What is the Triad Colour System?
It is a system that pairs a base coat, mid-tone, and highlight color, making it easy to create depth and volume on models.
Are these paints water-based?
Yes, Two Thin Coats are high-quality water-based acrylic paints, making cleanup easy with just water.
How long do the 15ml bottles last?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears separated or watery
The pigment has settled; shake the bottle thoroughly for 30-60 seconds, preferably with a stainless steel mixing ball inside.
Paint is too thick for fine details
Transfer a small amount to a wet palette and add a tiny drop of water or airbrush thinner to reach the desired flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your 15ml bottles, ensure the cap is tightened securely after every use to prevent the acrylic medium from drying out. Store your paints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before use, shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds; if the paint feels thick, you can add a small drop of distilled water or an acrylic medium to thin it to your preferred consistency. These paints are fully compatible with other acrylic hobby brands, though they are specifically tuned to work best within the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy Triad system.
