Work Tip:

For the smoothest finish, use a “wet palette” when applying these paints. This keeps the high-density pigment workable for hours and allows for effortless blending and glazing on your miniatures, preventing the “chalky” texture often seen with standard acrylics.

Recommendation:

Before applying your first coat, prime your models with Vallejo Surface Primer (Black or Grey). This creates a molecular bond with the plastic or resin, ensuring your Game Color palette adheres perfectly and remains chip-resistant for years of gaming and tabletop use.
