Two Thin Coats to Army Painter Paint Converter
Two Thin Coats and Army Painter Warpaints both sell in dropper-friendly, budget-conscious pots aimed at painting a whole army rather than a single showcase model, so painters moving between the two are usually chasing pot size and price rather than a specific technique.
Our Two Thin Coats to Army Painter converter maps every shadow, midtone and highlight (S/M/H) paint across all three Two Thin Coats waves to its closest Army Painter equivalent, using Trans Atlantis Games' own published conversions first and measured RGB colour distance everywhere else. Both the original Warpaints line and the newer Fanatic reformulation are included on the Army Painter side, giving the widest possible pool of candidates.
All 123 Two Thin Coats paints in our database are measured against 389 Army Painter colours. 12 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 62 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 40.6.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Army Painter equivalent to a Two Thin Coats paint?
Our converter measures the hex value of every Two Thin Coats paint against the full Army Painter range and returns the four nearest options, ranked by colour distance. Of the 123 Two Thin Coats paints in our database, 12 have a Army Painter match within a colour distance of 12.
Are Two Thin Coats and Army Painter paints compatible on the same miniature?
Yes. Both are water-based acrylics and can be layered over one another without any special preparation. Mixing brands on a single model is common practice; the main thing to watch is finish, since ranges vary in how matt they dry.
Why doesn’t every Two Thin Coats paint have an exact Army Painter match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 62 of the 123 Two Thin Coats paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Army Painter option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
