What it is used for
The Playmarker Black is a versatile tool that covers a wide range of applications in the hobby and creative arts. Its formula allows successive layers and blending, making it suitable for both basic techniques and more elaborate effects:
- Painting wargame miniatures: basecoats, shadow lines and high-precision details on small-scale figures.
- Scale models: applying black base colour on military vehicles, aircraft and dioramas before shading and weathering.
- Pre-shading and masking of dark areas on plastic and resin models.
- Subsequent weathering: Black resists layers of weathering products without lifting, allowing filters, washes and pigments to be applied without risk.
- Cosplay and SFX: quick and clean painting of accessories, armour and prop elements in resin or plastic.
- Sketches and prototypes: direct application onto the surface with no need for a palette or additional brush.
How to use it
- Surface preparation: Make sure the piece is clean, dry and free of grease. It is recommended to apply a white primer before using the Playmarker Black to maximise coverage and colour adhesion.
- Shaking: Shake the marker well for a few seconds before starting to homogenise the paint inside.
- Priming the tip: Press the tip gently against a test surface until the paint flows evenly.
- Application: Apply the colour with controlled strokes directly onto the piece. You can layer coats once the previous one is dry to increase opacity or create transitions and blends.
- Drying: The paint dries quickly in the air. Avoid touching the surface until it is completely dry to avoid leaving marks.
- Cleaning: Clean the tip with water after each use session to prevent paint from clogging the fibres. If the tip wears out, replace it with a new one (the tip is ).
- Varnishing: If you want to modify the finish or protect the paint, you can apply any varnish (matt, satin or gloss) without risk of damaging the colour layer.
Tips for use
Use layers for greater control of the Black
Black in a single coat can be very opaque, but applying it in two thin coats gives you greater control over the intensity of the tone and prevents build-up at the edges of the piece. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
Use it as a base for weathering techniques
The Playmarker Black is an ideal starting point for chipping and metallic weathering techniques. Being resistant to water and handling, it holds up perfectly under wet weathering products applied in subsequent layers, without the black base lifting or dissolving.
Combine it with other Playmarkers for direct blending
The acrylic formula of the Playmarkers allows colours to be blended directly on the surface while the paint is still wet. Use Black alongside other markers from the range to create gradients and shadows quickly and without the need for a palette.
Frequently asked questions
Can this type of marker be used on any surface?
The Playmarker Black (AKM002) is formulated to adhere correctly to plastic, resin, metal and wood. For best results, it is recommended to apply a white primer before painting, especially on very smooth or non-porous surfaces.
Is it necessary to varnish after applying the marker paint?
It is not strictly necessary, as the Playmarker Black paint resists water and handling once dry. However, if you want to change the finish (more matt or more gloss) or protect the piece before applying weathering techniques, you can varnish it without any problem. The varnish does not damage the paint.
Can I apply washes or filters over this type of paint?
Yes. The Playmarker Black paint is water-resistant once dry, which allows you to apply washes, filters and wet weathering products without risk of lifting the base coat. If you want extra security before applying solvent-based products, we recommend varnishing the piece first.
What is the difference between using a paint marker and a conventional brush?
The Playmarker Black offers greater speed and convenience: you do not need a palette, you do not have to load a brush or control dilution. It is ideal for quick sessions, fieldwork or whenever you need precision without prior preparation. For more elaborate blending or airbrushing techniques, AK Interactive standard paints are a complementary alternative.
