Full details
Citadel Base Paint in Kantor Blue is the ideal solution for miniature painters looking to achieve solid, opaque coverage on their models in a single application. Designed specifically for Warhammer and other detailed gaming figures, this high-pigment acrylic paint provides a consistent matte finish on plastic, metal, and resin surfaces. While it is perfect for establishing a base coat, users should note that the 12ml pot requires careful handling to prevent the paint from drying out over extended periods of use.

Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Apply a second thin layer rather than trying to force coverage with one thick, globby application.
Paint is too thick and hard to spread
Transfer a small amount to a palette and add a drop of water, mixing until it reaches a smooth, flowing consistency.
Lid does not seal properly
Wipe the interior rim of the pot and the inside of the cap with a damp cloth to remove dried paint debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before painting, ensure your model is clean and dry. It is highly recommended to prime your miniature with a dedicated spray primer for better adhesion. To maximize the longevity of your Kantor Blue paint, always clear the rim of the pot of any dried paint before closing the lid to ensure an airtight seal. Store your paints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning, simply rinse your brushes in water immediately after use to prevent acrylic buildup in the bristles.
