One Coat. Shading, Colour, and Highlights — Done.
Some paints ask you to work in stages — base coat, wash, highlight, wait, repeat. Speedpaint 2.0 collapses that workflow into a single application. Brush it on over a white or light primer and watch it flow into recesses, build intensity across mid-tones, and leave a natural highlight on the raised surfaces — all before it dries. Blinding Light is a bright, luminous tone ideal for white armour panels, robes, glowing energy effects, bone, or any surface where you want a clean, almost radiant finish without the challenge of painting true white from scratch.
How Speedpaint 2.0 Works
The Speedpaint formula uses a reactive medium that self-levels and pools into shadow areas while staying lighter on raised detail — giving your models depth and definition straight out of the pot. Speedpaint 2.0 improves on the original with better reactivation resistance, which means you can go back and layer standard acrylics over a dried coat without disturbing the paint beneath. That is a significant upgrade for anyone who found the first generation frustrating to highlight over. Apply it, let it dry, and you are ready to pick out details or edge highlights with your regular paints in minutes. It also works as a fast, coverage-strong basecoat when you need to move quickly through a large batch of models.
Who Should Pick This Up
New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the most forgiving and satisfying paints to learn with — results look finished even without additional highlighting. Experienced painters use it for batch-painting squads quickly before focusing detail time on characters and centrepiece models. Blinding Light in particular suits miniature painters working on light-coloured armour schemes, angelic or divine aesthetics, or any project where white is a dominant colour but traditional white paints feel frustrating and streaky. It works across any miniature system — a tube of this is equally at home on a Warhammer squad, a Warmachine warjack, or any other 28mm or 32mm model sitting on your painting desk.
