Flames Of War 'Colours Of War' paints question.
« on: November 08, 2018, 03:27:25 PM »
Hi there,

I recently picked up a couple of the themed boxes of the FoW Colours Of War paints. But I'm wondering if I've got a faulty batch or something. The coverage is absolutely atrocious.

It takes 3 or 4 or sometimes even 5 coats to get even close to full coverage as you paint something. Which is just... useless.

Has anybody else had any experience with these paints? I'm not sure if I should contact battlefront to try and get my money back.

Simon.

Some of the guys I game with use those paints and are generically satisfied with them. Specially when it comes with coverage which they state is a bit better than Vallejo paints.

try to shake the paints vigorously, really vigorously and check if the paint is homogeneous
- but if you still get the same results, then you should complain

I've used their customer service in the past, and they were very helpful
