True Color brushable paints come in CN colours and also engine black plus a few more tones. I also noted Paris Junction Hobbies are also carrying True Color paints, but did not notice brushables. For those that have not used these paints it is an acetone base paint. |
Don Janes and I spent the day on Tuesday railfanning, visiting Peter Mumby and picking up Don's orders at Otter Valley hobby shop. They have added more paints to their stock lately and I was surprised to see brushable paints in CN colors. I had to pick one up to see what it was all about. My quick test, the paint flowed well and covered good. I noted a slight gloss to the paint when dry. One would still have to apply a gloss coat prior to decaling...George Dutka

I also purchased MEC pine green which is their normal paint ready to spray. Brushable paint fall in the 800 series. I did a test square to see how it flowed and covered. It covered and flowed really well when applying by brush but I made a mess of them when I dropped my paint cloth over both test sheets and made a mess of them. The lines and smudges on the squares are my custom work. |
Do these paints dry up in the bottles as easily as model paints stored in glass bottles with metal lids? No matter what I do, that seems to always happen.
ReplyDeleteHi Ben
ReplyDeleteMost paints a limited shelf life once open. My Floquil paints I just store upside down but all others are upright. Floquil lasts a couple of years once open. I noted some of my AK stains have disappeared from the bottle which is also plastic lid and bottle. Not sure how True Color paints stay...hopefully I can get a few years out of the bottle before it is unusable...George
