The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0: Moonlake Coral

One Coat, Full Colour, Game-Ready Results

Moonlake Coral is a warm, vibrant coral tone from The Army Painter's Speedpaint 2.0 range — a second-generation formula that combines base coating, shading, and depth in a single pass. Apply it over a white or light grey primer and watch it flow into the recesses, leaving raised surfaces brighter and naturally highlighted. The result is a finished-looking model in far less time than traditional multi-step painting — no separate wash required, no highlight layer needed to get to the table.

How Speedpaint 2.0 Works

Speedpaint 2.0 builds on the original formula with improved reactivation resistance — meaning you can layer and correct over dried Speedpaint without muddying the coat beneath. Moonlake Coral suits warm skin tones, coral reef-themed basing, sea creature models, tropical armour schemes, and any project that calls for a rich pinkish-orange mid-tone. It can be used as a standalone finish for fast tabletop-quality results, or as a basecoat foundation for additional highlighting and blending. A gloss or matte varnish after application will lock the finish and protect against handling wear.

Who It's For

New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the most forgiving products in the hobby — prime, apply, done. Experienced painters use it to accelerate batch work or underpaint large armies before selectively refining characters and heroes. Moonlake Coral is a less common tone in most hobbyists' collections, making it a useful specialist pick for aquatic creatures, warm-toned flesh, exotic armour, or vibrant basing accents. It works across any miniature system — fantasy, sci-fi, historical, or skirmish.
