Never Forget How You Painted a Mini: Keep Painting Recipes
3 min read
You finish a squad, you're proud of it — and three months later you need to paint one more model to match. Which red was that? Two coats or three? Did you wash it? If you didn't write it down, you're reverse-engineering your own work.
What a good recipe captures
- The exact paints used, in order (basecoat → layer → wash → highlight).
- The technique for each step and any notes (thinning, drybrush, glaze).
- A photo of the finished result.
Why it's worth the 60 seconds
A recorded recipe means perfect consistency across an army, easy touch-ups, and something you can actually share with friends or the community. It also future-proofs you against discontinued paints — if you logged the colors, brushmatch can find replacements later.
Record once, share everywhere
brushmatch lets you save a recipe with a photo and steps, then share it to Instagram or Pinterest in a tap (it generates a clean recipe card automatically). Public recipes get their own page, so a single link shows anyone exactly how you did it.
brushmatch matches any paint across 26 brands using color science — free.
