Well;
For years it was the Old Humbrol line , in the tins .Then Testors, well ,Testors in the little square bottles first . Then back to those little tins . "Deck , Bleached Teak " was a color I used a lot .
They don't make it anymore .Thank Goodness I bought every tin I could get as I traveled .Now have over a hundred of that color alone .
Years later Polly " S " and Floquil ( I think Floquil was a lacquer).
The Testors " Model Master " Label . I have hundreds of bottles with most of the paint rack full .
Acrylics ? Wish I'd never heard the word . First in Housepaint then Modelpaints . Lousy brushability and all that .
Tamiya brand , Lousy brushability . Good color selection though . Although , too many coats required , for some colors .
Vallejo , Well the Jury is still out . Some brush and cover well , most don't . As you must've gathered I have a lot in the paint stage .Why ? well can't airbrush in the house in the winter ! Landlady says " No Way Jose "
Just a note here , I see many complain about tops sticking . This applies to the tins as well as Model master and Testor little bottles and Tamiya .Clean your cap out every use and keep any build - up off the bottle and tin rims .
I have some that's over ten years old and they still open and close fine . Vallejo I just wipe well , and keep the inside of the top clean .
And just think .This all happened with the Acrylic because some parents couldn't keep their Kiddos from eating stuff with lead based paint on it . Maybe they should've fed the kids and forgot about cable ?
