Scorched earth and cool skies.

Afterburner has our widest range of colors in a shift paint. Moving from a warm copper through a yellow gold front facing color to a light green rim. Applied in 1-2 Coats over a black base this paint can give you a beetle shell effect; applied in 3-5 coats it gives you the full saturation as seen in the product images.

  • 1. Shake a lot. Like more than you think.
  • 2. Make sure the tip is clear before you squirt. Our bottles feature removable dropper tips, this allows you to save un-used paint by pouring it back into the bottle.
  • 3. Use appropriate base coat color. The bottles say which base coat is best for said color. But generally most colorshifts and metallics look best over a black undercoat.
  • 4. Apply in 2-4 thin layers. Do not try to apply in one layer. Do not allow the paint to pool. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying the next.
  • 5. Turboshifts may be layered over each other, but not mixed together when wet.
  • 6. Gloss washes work best on Turbo Dork paints. Finish with a satin or gloss varnish to protect if desired.

Turboshift paints are made with tiny glass-like flakes that work like millions of small prisms within the paint. Depending on how the flakes are made, different colors are refracted or reflected in the light. In layman's terms this means that the paint changes color depending on what light you are viewing it under, and what angle you are holding it to that light.

Formulated for airbrush use, but may also be hand brushed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right paints for my miniatures?

Choosing the right paints for your miniatures involves considering factors such as the type of paint, the desired finish, and the specific requirements of your project. Acrylic paints are popular for their ease of use and quick drying time, while enamel paints offer durability and a glossy finish. Look for paints that are specifically formulated for miniatures to ensure they provide good coverage and detail. Additionally, consider using a primer to prepare the surface and a sealant to protect the finished paint job.

What is the best way to store miniature paints?

To store miniature paints properly, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure that the lids are tightly closed to prevent the paints from drying out. It’s also helpful to store them upright to avoid leakage. Some hobbyists use dedicated paint racks or organizers to keep their paints easily accessible and sorted by color.

How can I achieve smooth, even coats of paint on my miniatures?

To achieve smooth, even coats of paint on your miniatures, use thin layers and build up the color gradually. Dilute your paints with a little water or a thinning medium to improve flow and reduce brush strokes. Applying multiple thin layers rather than one thick layer will give you better control and a more professional finish. Make sure to allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.

What techniques can I use to add detail and depth to my miniatures?

Techniques such as dry brushing, washing, and layering can add detail and depth to your miniatures. Dry brushing involves using a small amount of paint on a dry brush to highlight raised areas. Washing uses thinned-down paint to add shadows and bring out details in the recesses. Layering involves applying successively lighter shades of paint to create a gradient effect. These techniques can enhance the overall look and realism of your miniatures.
