FAQs
Can I use White Scar as a base coat?
While you can apply it over a base coat, it is formulated as a layer paint. It may require multiple coats to cover a dark primer effectively compared to a dedicated base paint.
Is this paint compatible with other brands?
Yes, as a water-based acrylic, it is generally compatible with most other acrylic miniature paints and mediums.
Do I need to varnish my models after using this?
While not strictly required, applying a varnish will protect your paint job from wear and tear, especially if the miniatures are used frequently in gaming.
How do I clean brushes used with this paint?
Rinse the brush in clean water. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated brush soap to remove any pigment trapped near the ferrule.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
Yes, you can airbrush it if you thin it properly with an airbrush thinner, though it is primarily designed for brush application.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears streaky when applied.
The paint is likely too thick. Thin it slightly with water or an acrylic medium on your palette before applying.
The pigment has clumped or separated inside the pot.
The paint may have been sitting for a long time. Use a clean stainless steel agitator ball and shake the pot thoroughly to remix the medium.
Paint is drying on the brush tip too quickly.
Ensure you are using a wet palette to maintain the moisture level of your paint during extended painting sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the paint for use, shake the 12ml pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended. If the paint feels thick, dispense a small amount onto a wet palette and add a drop of water or thinning medium to achieve a milk-like consistency. Always close the lid securely after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Store the pots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean your brushes, rinse them thoroughly in clean water immediately after you finish painting to prevent acrylic build-up in the bristles.
