FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using this paint?
Yes, always prime your miniatures first to ensure the paint adheres correctly to the surface.
Can I use this paint for airbrushing?
This paint is designed for brush application. You would need to heavily thin it with an airbrush medium to use it in an airbrush, though it may not perform as well as dedicated airbrush paints.
Is this paint permanent?
Yes, once dry, these acrylics are permanent and highly durable, suitable for gaming pieces.
Should I varnish my model after applying this gold layer?
Applying a thin coat of varnish is recommended to protect your hard work, especially on high-traffic gaming pieces.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Typically, thin layers will dry to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the humidity of your room.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears too thick or clumpy.
Add a tiny amount of water or acrylic thinner and stir thoroughly until the consistency is smooth.
Metallic finish looks streaky.
Apply two thin coats instead of one thick coat, allowing each layer to dry completely in between.
Paint has separated in the pot.
Use a small mixing ball or a clean stir stick to mix the settled metallic pigment back into the medium.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your miniature is primed and a base coat has fully dried. To maintain the quality of your Gehennas Gold paint, keep the pot lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the water-based medium from evaporating. If the paint thickens, add a tiny drop of clean water or a dedicated acrylic thinner to restore its original consistency. Clean your brushes immediately after use with soap and water to avoid metallic pigments drying in the bristles. Store pots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong the shelf life of the paint.
