Shop Talk: Evaluating New Paints

Published on:

One of the great things in our hobby is getting new stuff. New kits, new tools, new brushes, new airbrushes, new paints… whatever it is, if it is new – we like it.

Yet each new thing brings along the need to evaluate it. How does it work? Is it better than what I may have already been using? Does it improve the outcomes on my models?

Paint can be an especially critical thing to do a thorough evaluation of. While folks rarely run to the local hobby shop and buy up an entire range of paint, the money, time, and outcome questions really matter. Is this a paint worth investing in more – or should it be avoided?

This video takes an in-depth look at some simple criteria for evaluating new paints in a way that helps you determine if it is a good addition to your model workbench.
