Title: Has anyone used these metallics before
Post by: OSHIROmodels on February 16, 2022, 04:50:03 PM

And if so, how did you find them?

Ignore the ‘Please return me’ writing as it’s the only copy the art shop had  lol

Got one a while back. Used once. Wasn't impressed.

I have a similar product and if your ones have the same properties they are best suited for an Airbrush. Are these Alcohol/Solvent based? The only colour that was usable with a brush for me was Silver, Gold and Bronze had to be airbrushed.

Water based apparently (according to the lass behind the counter).

OK, I think because mine are Solvent based they are very thin, hence airbrush only.

Just didn't have the 'wow' factor.

I'm, admittedly,  a complete paint tart and will try anything new and shiny. Unless something gives noticeably better or different results to what I'm already using (or the same a cheaper price  ;) ) they'll end up in a box along with assorted other samples of the Next Best Thing.

Thanks chaps  :)

They were only a few quid per pit so it’s definitely worth a punt.
