AK Interactive 17010 - Quick Gen paint Warm Yellow 18 ml

Quick Gen Warm Yellow acrylic contrast paint 18 ml for miniatures

Quick Gen Warm Yellow is an acrylic contrast paint developed by AK Interactive to dramatically reduce the time required to paint miniatures while maintaining a high-quality finish. Its advanced formula allows the paint to flow naturally across the surface, creating shadows, mid-tones and highlights with a single coat.

The Warm Yellow color is a saturated, warm yellow with a subtle orange undertone, giving painted surfaces a natural and pleasant appearance. It is ideal for painting clothing, fabrics, leather details, equipment, belts, pouches and light ornamental elements. Thanks to its contrast properties, the paint creates soft, natural shadows in recesses and warm, even tones on raised areas, resulting in a balanced finish without harsh contrast.

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: Quick Gen acrylic contrast paint
• Intended use: RPG, wargaming and board game miniatures
• Application: brush or airbrush

Quick Gen paints – fast contrast painting

Quick Gen paints represent AK Interactive’s most advanced range designed specifically for contrast painting techniques. Their behavior is based on controlled pigment distribution: thicker layers settle in recesses and cavities, while thinner layers remain on raised details.

This variation in pigment density produces natural tonal transitions that simulate light and shadow without additional painting steps. As a result, traditional stages such as base coating, shading and highlighting can be combined into a single, efficient process after priming.

Quick Gen paints perform best over a white primer, which allows the full range of contrast and depth to be appreciated. However, they can also be applied over black, grey or colored primers to achieve subtler shading, lining effects or soft glazes.

Each Quick Gen paint bottle features a coverage level indicator on the label (low, medium or high), helping painters select the right color depending on the desired intensity and effect. Coverage depends on the pigment type and concentration used in the formulation.

The specially formulated medium ensures smooth brush control, improved surface tension and an even finish without tide marks or staining. Quick Gen paints can be mixed together to create new tones.

When thinning Quick Gen paints, it is recommended to use the dedicated AK Interactive 17001 medium. It allows for reduced color intensity or smoother transitions while fully preserving the paint’s contrast properties. The medium improves flow, maintains controlled pigment behavior and helps prevent staining or uneven marks, which is essential when working with contrast-style paints.

They can be used on their own or combined with traditional acrylic paints. Painters may apply Quick Gen over previously painted surfaces to enrich shadows and color depth, or enhance Quick Gen bases with classic acrylic highlights and details.

Use and compatibility

Quick Gen paints are ideal for both beginners and experienced painters who want to paint large numbers of miniatures quickly and efficiently, such as full armies for tabletop games, without sacrificing visual impact.
