- Sealing: some technical paints need a protective varnish layer
- Medium behaviour: check if the paint is self-levelling or retains texture

A technical paint substitute only becomes trustworthy once it survives the same base, drying, and sealing sequence as the original recipe.
Looking at the surrounding palette matters because a near match can still push the finished model warmer, colder, or flatter than expected.
That combination of colour distance, finish, and recipe context is what makes a technical paint substitute reliable on an actual miniature.
