Product Information
Full details
The Warhammer Colour Layer Paint in Evil Sunz Scarlet is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters looking to add vibrant, high-pigment red highlights to their tabletop figures. Formulated to be applied directly over base coats, this paint enables artists to create smooth, natural transitions and depth without complex mixing; however, users should note that the thin consistency requires multiple thin applications rather than a single thick coat to avoid obscuring fine model details.

FAQs
Does this paint require a base coat?

Can I use this on metal miniatures?
Yes, it adheres well to metal, plastic, and resin as long as the model has been properly primed.
Can I mix this with other colors?
Yes, it can be mixed with other acrylic paints, though it is specifically formulated for layering as-is.
How long does it take to dry?
Depending on the thickness of the layer and humidity, it typically dries to the touch within 5 to 10 minutes.
Should I shake the pot before use?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or clumpy
Add a tiny drop of distilled water or acrylic thinner to the pot and stir gently until smooth.
Paint is pooling on the miniature
You are using too much paint; dab your brush on a paper towel after loading it to remove excess moisture.
Visible brush strokes
Thin the paint slightly more and use thinner, more controlled layers, allowing each to dry fully before adding the next.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure your miniature has been primed and coated with a base paint. To maintain the quality of your Evil Sunz Scarlet, always shake the pot thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended. After painting, rinse your brush immediately in clean water to prevent acrylic build-up in the bristles.
To preserve the paint's lifespan:
- Ensure the lid snaps shut completely after every use to prevent the paint from thickening.
- Do not leave the pot open for extended periods while painting.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If the paint thickens, add a tiny amount of water or dedicated acrylic thinner to restore its consistency.
