Paint
in Action! O
ne of the key concepts here at Turbo Dork is the idea of bringing fantasy into reality. Tabletop gaming has its roots in this idea, but it isnât always one that is easily realized. The core focus of our line has been to make those dreams easier to achieve while at the same time, inspiring new ones. More traditional hobby paint lines have done a fantastic job of recapturing historical accuracy, such as having 30+ greens and grays to represent the various uniforms of real life infantry and armor. But those colors fall short of being able to make a gleaming knight in shining armor, a mystical magical spell, or a futuristic space marine. Our focus has been on building that color library so that any colorful dream can be created. While we are most known for our Turboshift paints that change color as you move them about in the light, I think one of the best parts of our line is our colorful metallics. The ability to have a bright blue or deep red metal without having to layer multiple colors and effects is great for painters of all levels. Even beginners can achieve previously thought of as advanced color effects with ease. Even my 68 year old father has started painting

miniatures for his tabletop games and loves that he can make something that stands out on the tabletop with minimal effort and skill. We have heard much the same from our retail painters when they host Paint and Take nights. Customers who normally arenât painters have fallen in love with our bright inspiring palette and are excited to take home a mini that they are proud of. The use of Turbo Dork paints for in store-run painting nights is something we encourage, and have bundles available for. Once customers get to see the colors in action, it opens up a world of possibilities for them. While it may be easy to translate some of the colors for the more popular space-saga games, even TTRPG players who want to add a little extra magic to their player minis can find a color they love in our line of Turbo Dork paints. We are excited to continue this journey of helping new painters with the launch of our YouTube and Twitch channels this quarter. We firmly believe that once customers see our paint in action they are hooked, and building an educational resource that they can rely on is key. Our focus is going to be on beginner based content to help your new customers get up to speed on how to use our paints, as well as advanced techniques to achieve specific effects. We also want to provide stores with graphics and videos that they can share on their social media, and in-store television displays. A graphics package will be coming by Q1 of 2023. Turbo Dork paints are for everyone, and we are excited to see what you, and your customers, will paint up next!
