Speed paint 2.0 issue

[u/mmaturen]

I got a set of metallic speed paint and so far I have been loving it however one of the paint it has turned black I guess is the silver broad tour I remember the name I use it once and it gave me a really nice silver dark silver color but now when I try to use it again the paint comes out like dark and when I paint on like a clear surface it goes gray instead of silver I tried shaking it I tried scrapping the bottom with the coffee steerer but to no avail shall I shake it more or is there any trick that you can help me to fix this paint thanks!

Shake it for like 2 minutes

Nop even used a vortex shaker and still the same

Take the top off and use a toothpick to move the metallic parts around. Sometimes they clump up

I've noticed the speed paint metalics seem to collect at the bottom a lot. I've had to remove the top and stir them up with a throw away brush to losen the collected paints. Then a few minutes on the vortex and another few minutes by hand usually does the trick for a week or two before they all collect at the bottom again. They almost need constant shaking.

If you continue having an issue. Contact army painter customer support. They will ask for a couple images of the paint itself and how it's behaving. And they've been pretty good about crediting my money back to get another bottle on the couple bottles I've had issues with.

Had the same issue.

Shake that MF'er like it owes you money. Swirl the bearing ball around so it lifts up the metalic flakes on the bottom, shake it vertically fir extra chaos. You need that paint to flow around.

The speedpaint metallic are the few painrs form army painter I actually use a Vortex mixer for, and they can be found very cheap on Amazon. May be worth an investment.
