FAQs
Can I use Gore-Grunta Fur over a black primer?
No, it is designed for light undercoats. Using it over black will result in very little visible color.
Do I need to varnish my models after using this paint?
It is recommended to use a matte or satin varnish to protect your work, especially if the models are used frequently in tabletop gaming.
Can I mix this with other Citadel paints?
You can mix it with other Contrast paints to create custom shades, or with Contrast Medium to increase transparency.
Is this paint waterproof once dry?
As an acrylic paint, it is water-resistant once fully cured, but it can be reactivated if significant water is applied immediately.
How long does it take to dry?
Depending on the ambient humidity and application thickness, it typically dries to a touch in 15–30 minutes.
Troubleshooting
The paint looks streaky or uneven on flat panels.
Avoid over-brushing. Apply a controlled amount of paint and avoid going back over areas that have already begun to dry.
The color appears dull or grayish.
Ensure you are using a light-toned primer. If you used a black or dark grey primer, the transparency of the contrast paint will not allow the base color to show through properly.
Paint is pooling too heavily in the recesses.
Wick away excess paint from your brush before application, or use a clean, dry brush to soak up the excess liquid from the pooling areas while it is still wet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster painting process than traditional layering
- Excellent for achieving organic, leather-like brown tones
- Self-shading properties reduce the need for manual ink washes
- Easy cleanup with water due to the acrylic base
Cons
- Requires a specific light-colored primer for best results
- Prone to 'pooling' if applied too heavily on flat surfaces
- Can be difficult to correct mistakes once the paint dries
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the pigment is properly suspended. Use a dedicated synthetic brush, as Contrast paints can be hard on natural hair bristles.
Always apply over a light primer; applying over a dark surface will result in muted, muddy colors. Store your pots in an upright position in a cool, dry environment. If the paint becomes too thick, you can add a single drop of clean water or Citadel Contrast Medium to restore its flow properties.
