Pintables

Often, we need a suitable surface to test our paints, whether we want to evaluate the tone, understand its finish, or even see how using a brush or an airbrush with a specific color or brand of paint affects the same surface. In all these cases, "paintables" represent a safe testing ground for you to experiment before proceeding to work on your piece of art.

At SprayGunner, we have created a collection of "paintables" where you can find various shapes and textures, so you have the opportunity to experiment with techniques and finishes without the fear of damaging your work.

If you're still wondering why it's necessary to use Paintables, here are the reasons:

•    Color Testing: If you need to see how a specific color behaves on surfaces with particular characteristics, Paintables allow you to experiment on them, which will help you decide on the most appropriate color or shade for your art project.

•    Technique Practice: If you've been explained a painting technique, whether with an airbrush or brush, but are afraid to apply it to your work because you haven't mastered it, a Paintable is the right object for you to try and perfect those new techniques.

•    Surface Compatibility: Not all paints adhere the same way on all surfaces. With Paintables, you can test these unique characteristics of each type or brand of paint before risking using it on your work.

•    Spray Pattern Calibration: When using an airbrush, it's common to need to adjust the airflow or paint flow, check dilutions, or confirm the color that the airbrush is finally spraying. This is particularly important when changing paint in your airbrush and you haven't done a thorough cleaning. In this case, Paintables are the best testing platform where you can try all these conditions before directing your airbrush to the piece you are working on.

•    Risk-Free Experimentation: If you have ideas on how to approach an airbrushing or painting job where you combine techniques or processes as you see fit, a Paintable is the right surface for you to experiment without the risk of damaging your work.

In general terms, the paintables are intended to be used by:

•    Modelers: They are perfect for the workspace of vehicle modelers in all their forms, figure painters, and tabletop gaming enthusiasts.
•    Taxidermists: Taxidermists often face the need to mix colors to achieve the proper finish for their pieces. These paintables are suitable for these natural painting artists to test those exotic colors they need to apply to each piece.
•    Automotive and Airbrush Artists in general: The paintables are suitable for testing custom colors and airbrush effects before applying them to cars, motorcycles, or any other artwork.
•    DIYers and Creatives: The paintables are an excellent option for experimenting with different paints and finishes in general decoration projects.
•    Professional Painters: The paintables allow for refining the operation of their airbrush tools, sprays, and coatings before large-scale application.

As you can see, using paintables is a practical way to experiment and test your paints and tools without the fear of damaging your work. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you focus on painting small pieces like board game figures or if your focus is larger and involves painting big areas; it will always be helpful for you to have one or more paintables.
