Auxiliary Products

Painting auxiliaries support every stage of painting scale models, miniatures and figures: from surface preparation and colour mixing to equipment cleaning and finish protection. This category brings together complementary products for different techniques and paint types, without focusing on a single brand.

An auxiliary for each task

Thinners and cleaners serve different purposes: some help adjust paint consistency for application, while others are formulated to remove residue from brushes, airbrushes and painting tools. Drying retarders extend the working time of compatible paints, while painting mediums can modify properties such as flow or transparency, depending on their formulation.

For surface preparation, browse our primers. Varnishes help protect paint layers and achieve matte, satin or gloss finishes, depending on the product selected.

Choose for your paint and technique

Not all auxiliaries are interchangeable. Before combining products, check their compatibility with the paint, surface and application method, along with the manufacturer's mixing ratios, timings, usage directions and safety information. Read each product page to choose the right complement for your project.
