The secret to Army Painter Speedpaints is their incredible versatility and the way they can effortlessly bring out the depth and detail of your miniatures. They are designed to act both as a base coat and shading in a single application. When applied over a primer, the paint naturally flows into the crevices, acting as a shade, while the higher surfaces remain lighter, providing a base color and highlighting the model's details.

Yes, priming your miniatures is a crucial first step before using Speedpaints. A good primer helps the paint adhere better to the miniature's surface, providing a blank canvas for your colors and ensuring the paint's longevity.

Applying Army Painter Speedpaints is as simple as shaking the bottle well, using a decent brush, and applying it evenly over the primed miniature. Allow gravity to do its work; the paint will flow into the recesses and create natural shading. It's important to remember that less is more – you can always add another coat if necessary.
