FAQs
What type of miniatures is this set best suited for?
This set is ideal for fantasy and sci-fi miniatures, particularly those requiring fiery color schemes such as dragons, demons, or specific character models.
Can these paints be used with an airbrush?

What is the best way to store these paints?
Store the paint bottles upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the caps are tightly sealed after each use.
Do these paints require a primer?
While not strictly required, priming miniatures before painting is highly recommended for optimal paint adhesion and color vibrancy.

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Shake the bottle vigorously. If still clumpy, add a small amount of water or acrylic thinner and mix thoroughly. Ensure the paint has not dried out in the bottle.
Paint is not adhering well to the miniature
Ensure the miniature is properly cleaned and primed. The paint may not be adhering well to dust, oils, or old paint layers. Re-prime if necessary.
Colors appear dull after drying
Apply additional thin coats to build up vibrancy. Consider using a gloss varnish before applying final highlights, and then a matte varnish to achieve the desired finish.
