Product Information
Full details
The Warhammer Layer Paint in Flash Gitz Yellow is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters looking to add vibrant, high-contrast highlights to their projects. Formulated for seamless application over base coats, this acrylic paint excels at building depth and bringing out fine details on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures. While it is perfect for bright highlights, users should note that as a layer paint, it has a thinner consistency than base paints and typically requires multiple thin coats to achieve full opacity over darker surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for painting, ensure your workspace is well-lit and your brushes are clean. If the paint feels too thick, place a drop on a wet palette and mix in a tiny amount of water until it reaches a milky consistency. This paint is fully compatible with the entire Warhammer Citadel range, including shades, glazes, and technical paints. After each session, ensure the flip-top lid is snapped shut securely to prevent the acrylic from curing inside the pot. If the rim of the pot becomes messy, wipe it with a damp cloth before closing to maintain a proper air-tight seal. Always rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water immediately after use to prevent paint from drying in the bristles.
