Paint Pad is a place to create, share and discover recipes for painting miniatures.

Anyone, of any skill level, can write recipes that are useful to themselves and others. Never again will you forget how you painted the cloak that your warlord is wearing.

The site was created by Andy Pearson, a person that got tired of typing "Mechanicus Standard Grey".
