Quick Answer
Shake the bottle, apply directly to unpainted Dwarvenite without priming or thinning, and use thin coats to avoid pooling in crevices.
Why Pokorny Paint Works Differently
Unlike standard hobby paints, Pokorny Paint is formulated specifically for Dwarvenite. It has the right viscosity out of the bottle—no need to thin it, which would weaken the pigment. It also adheres without a primer, saving you a step and preserving surface detail.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest error is over-thinning or adding water. This reduces coverage and can cause the paint to run into recesses unevenly. Another is not shaking the bottle well—pigments settle, so a thorough shake ensures consistent color and opacity.
Step-by-Step Application
- Shake the Bottle Thoroughly: Pokorny Paint comes in a 4 oz bottle. Shake it vigorously for at least 30 seconds before each use to re-suspend settled pigments. Skipping this step leads to uneven color and poor coverage.
- Apply Paint Directly to Dwarvenite: Use a brush to apply the paint straight from the bottle. No primer or water needed. Start with a thin coat, working the paint into the surface. Thick coats can obscure fine details like stone texture or wood grain.
- Build Up Layers for Full Coverage: Let the first coat dry completely (about 10–15 minutes). Apply a second thin coat if needed. Dwarvenite's dark color may require two coats for bright shades. Rushing between coats can cause the paint to lift or streak.
- Clean Your Brush Promptly: Rinse brushes with water immediately after use. Pokorny Paint is water-based, so dried paint is harder to remove and can ruin bristles. Leaving paint to dry on the brush shortens its life and affects future application.
