cheap paint
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 8, 2004 6:34 PM
Does anyone know where to get model paint at cheaper prices? My LHS is charging $3.50 (American) for a small bottle of mm. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as the amount of paint I need would bankrupt my already miniscule budget.

I Agree with the other guys. That's way too high, and if there are no other stores nearby I'd just order it. Squadron (www.squadron.com) is one excellent source for ordering supplies.

Ouch! The suggested retail price of MM enamels is $2.19 a bottle. On the Internet, you can find them anywhere from $1.75 to about $2.50, but $3.50 is flat out robbery!

Try online hobby shops that carry almost everything in the hobby realm, these shops charge less for paint because it is not their big ticket item so they can sell for less.

Wal-Marts plasticoat brand Enamals.
around a dollar a pint.
basic colors but they spray well, and seem durable.
a little color mixing will get you most of what you need.
at that price you can't lose.
Find it in the paint dept, not the crafts section.
nice choice for paint on a budget.
