The Playmarker Pink (AKM024) is a water-based acrylic paint marker by AK Interactive designed for modellers and wargamers looking for precision and ease of use in a brush-tip format. Its high-coverage acrylic formula bonds firmly to plastic, resin, metal and wood, and resists handling, water and heat once dry. The felt tip provides full control over the stroke, from fine lines to broader coverage areas.

What it is used for
The Playmarker Pink is a versatile tool that fits into multiple creative disciplines. Its Pink colour is especially useful for skin tones, uniforms, fictional vehicles, fantasy miniatures and decorative diorama elements. These are its most common applications:
- Wargame miniature painting: quick base coats, flat colour areas and details on fantasy or sci-fi figures.
- Scale models: applying striking colours to civilian vehicles, aircraft or signage elements.
- Dioramas: colouring decorative elements, stylised flora or architectural surfaces.
- Cosplay and props: direct painting on foam, resin or 3D-printed plastic pieces.
- Special effects (SFX): base colour for prosthetics, masks and artistic make-up elements.
- Quick sketches and colour tests on any porous or primed surface.
How to use it
- Prepare the surface: make sure the piece is clean, dry and free of dust or grease. Applying a white primer before using the Playmarkers is recommended to achieve maximum performance from the Pink colour and optimal adhesion.
- Activate the marker: shake the Playmarker well and press the tip gently against a test surface until the paint flows evenly.
- Apply the paint: paint with short, controlled strokes, taking advantage of the flexibility of the felt tip. You can work in thin, overlapping layers to achieve greater coverage or to create transitions and colour blends.
- Let it dry: drying is fast. Wait until each layer is completely dry before applying the next one or adding weathering effects.
- Apply weathering effects if desired: once dry, the Pink resists any weathering product without risk of lifting the base paint.
- Varnish if necessary: you can apply any type of varnish (matte, satin or gloss) over the paint without damaging it. This also allows you to unify finishes if you have combined several Playmarkers.
- Cleaning: clean the tip with a damp absorbent cloth. If the tip deteriorates, replace it with a new tip compatible with AK Interactive Playmarkers.
Tips and tricks
White primer for best results
The Pink colour, like the rest of the Playmarkers range, performs best over a white base. A light primer maximises colour vibrancy and reduces the number of layers needed to achieve even coverage. If you paint directly onto grey plastic or dark resin, you will need more passes.
Blending and transitions directly on the piece
Playmarkers allow you to blend wet colours directly on the surface while the paint has not yet fully dried. You can combine Pink with other Playmarkers to create smooth gradients, especially useful for figure skin tones or simplified zenithal lighting effects. Work quickly with short strokes to make the most of the paint's open time.
Tip replacement and marker maintenance
If the felt tip accumulates pigment from other colours or loses its original shape, replace it with a new one. Store the Playmarkers horizontally or with the tip facing downward to maintain a consistent paint flow and prevent the tip from drying out between sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Can varnish be applied over this type of paint?
Yes. The Playmarker Pink (AKM024) accepts any type of varnish once dry, whether matte, satin or gloss. This is especially useful if you want to unify the finish of a piece on which you have combined several colours, or if you need to protect the paint before applying washes and weathering effects.
Is a primer necessary before painting?
It is not strictly required, but it is highly recommended. AK Interactive advises using a white primer before the Playmarkers to achieve the best results in coverage and colour accuracy. On very dark or non-porous surfaces, the primer makes a notable difference.
Can I use this marker for weathering or ageing effects?
The Playmarker Pink is intended as a base coat paint, not as a weathering product in itself. However, once applied and dry, it withstands any subsequent ageing technique without issues — washes, pigments, chipping or other effects — without the Pink layer lifting or deteriorating.
On which surfaces does this acrylic paint marker work well?
The Playmarker Pink adheres correctly to plastic, resin, metal and wood. It also works on 3D-printed pieces (FDM and photopolymer resin) and on foam with a suitable primer. For very smooth or non-porous surfaces, it is recommended to prime beforehand to ensure adhesion.
Where can I buy this product in Spain?
The Playmarker Pink AKM024 is available at Feroca, the official AK Interactive distributor in Spain. You can purchase it directly from the Feroca online store, where you will find the full Playmarkers range and the rest of the AK Interactive products with shipping to mainland Spain and other areas.
