Real Heavy Metal Scarlet Red Base from Ionic Smart Colours is the optimal choice for creating a classic deep and consistent scarlet finish on your miniatures. As the first step in Ionic's innovative 3-step system this colour forms the dominant colour layer for everything from royal banners to elegant armour details.

Classic scarlet red lustre with high coverage
Scarlet Red Base is designed to mimic the saturated and timeless lustre of the finest scarlet. Thanks to a high density of pigment the paint has an extremely homogeneous coverage and a stable base to work on. The system gives you a saturated surface that feels both massive and genuine which is crucial for creating impressive weight and realism on small-scale models.

Features & Benefits:

• High coverage (IONIC-0805): The dense pigmentation ensures an even finish that covers effectively from the first coat without hiding the finest details.
• Natural pigments: Ensure a smooth and fine-grained surface without lumps giving a more realistic and even finish than traditional hobby paints.
• Smart Packaging: Comes in a convenient 20ml bottle with a smooth opening mechanism that can be operated with one hand for easy dosing at the palette.
• Technical versatility: Water-based acrylic formula that works great for both brush and airbrush as well as techniques such as dry brushing and layering.
