FAQs
Does this paint need to be thinned?
While it can be used directly from the pot, thinning it slightly with a drop of water often results in a smoother, more even coat.
Can I use this on metal miniatures?
Yes, Liberator Gold is fully compatible with plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.
Do I need to prime my model first?
Yes, for the best adhesion and finish, it is highly recommended to prime your miniature before painting.
Is this paint non-toxic?
Yes, it is a non-toxic water-based acrylic paint.
How do I prevent the metallic flakes from clumping?
Always shake the pot vigorously before each use to keep the metallic particles suspended in the medium.
Troubleshooting
The paint looks streaky or uneven.
Ensure you are using multiple thin layers rather than one thick coat, and check that the surface was properly primed.
The gold tone looks dull or muddy.
The metallic pigments may have settled; shake the pot much longer and ensure you are applying over a proper base coat.
Paint has thickened inside the pot.
Add a small amount of water or acrylic medium and stir thoroughly to return it to a usable consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your miniature is clean, assembled, and properly primed. Shake the paint pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the metallic pigments are fully distributed. Use a clean synthetic or sable brush, and avoid leaving the flip-top lid open for extended periods to prevent the paint from thickening. If the paint begins to dry out, you can restore its texture with a few drops of acrylic medium or water. After use, rinse your brushes thoroughly with cool water and reshape the bristles to ensure longevity. Store the pot upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
