Product Information
Full details
Citadel Layer paints are designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who need to achieve smooth highlights and depth on their models without complex color blending. This specific tone, Flayed One Flesh, is ideal for painting organic textures, skin tones, and weathered surfaces, providing a rich matt finish that adheres perfectly to plastic, metal, and resin. While it provides excellent coverage for layering, users should note that these paints are designed as a finish layer rather than a base coat, meaning they are best applied over an existing undercoat for optimal pigment saturation.

FAQs
Can I use this paint directly on bare plastic?
While it can be applied to bare plastic, it is highly recommended to use a primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly and provides a uniform surface.
Is this paint compatible with other brands?
Yes, Citadel paints are water-based acrylics and can generally be mixed or used alongside other hobby-grade acrylic paints.
Do I need to thin this paint with a medium?
You can use water to thin it for standard layering, but for advanced techniques like glazing, using a dedicated Lahmian Medium is recommended.
How long does it take to dry?
Usually 5-10 minutes depending on humidity and the thickness of the application. Always wait until it is completely dry before applying another layer.
Is the paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic water-based acrylic, though it is not intended for consumption.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or patchy during application.
The paint may be too thick or you are applying too much pressure. Thin the paint slightly with a damp brush or water on a palette and use two thin layers instead of one thick one.
Paint is clumping inside the pot.
This is often due to the lid not being fully sealed. Ensure the cap 'clicks' shut, and use a stainless steel agitator ball inside the pot to help keep the pigment mixed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your models are primed with a base coat. Shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. If the paint appears too thick, add a single drop of water to your palette—do not add water directly into the pot. After painting, rinse your brushes thoroughly with clean water and shape the bristles to maintain their point. To prolong the life of the paint, ensure the lid is snapped firmly shut after every use to prevent the acrylic from drying out.
