Testors has new labels on their cans of glosscoat and clearcoat. The fronts of the cans are identical to both, just labeling them as clear coats. The designation of gloss or matt is on labels in small print on the back, on the cover. That means as they sit in the rack it is impossible to tell the difference. Why do they do that? It makes it hard for the consumer. Maybe they are giving in to the new marketing philosophy of "*** off your customers." Thisnew philosophy seems to be that getting consumers irritated with you helps them remember the brand :-) I see a lot of companies doing this.

so there is no label on the cap anymore?
stymye so there is no label on the cap anymore?
Yes, but all the cans I examined had that label on the BACK of the cap. You could not see it while the cans were in the rack. Since the places I buy it have a lot of rug rats around, one cannot trust just picking paint out of the rack. One must examine each can or bottle. Okay, not a large amount of effort, but why? Why are they making it harder for the consumer? Also, the font on the cap marking is VERY small- I need to put on my reading glasses, while I can read the font on the main label fine.
I don't understand why they are fooling around with the labels or whether the stuff inside is any different from the old stuff. I did find one labelled "Wet look" that worked very well- nice clear, glossy and shiny finish.
But we need to hit them with about a thousand e-mails telling them to stop messing around with the modeling community!
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
ahhh ok , sounds like they are trying to more generalize the labels in order to reduce cost , and using stickers to identify the paint... that's ok with me but the sticker needs to be more prominent,like your saying
