Is this paint suitable for fine detail on miniatures?

Yes, when thinned appropriately it can be used for fine detail on figures and small parts. Use a fine brush and thin in small amounts to retain control over lines and edges.

Do I need a primer first?

Priming is recommended for porous or uneven surfaces to improve adhesion and uniform finish, especially on bare wood or rough styrol resins.

How do I avoid brush strokes?

Use thin coats and allow each layer to dry before adding another. For a smoother finish, consider light sanding between coats and apply multiple thin passes rather than one heavy coat.
