PhantomBigStu Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Anyone got either of these paints and what are they like particularly to brush, thinking of doing my upcoming Matchbox Victor build with white underside and I suck with rattle cans and masking so will have to brush.

Space Ranger Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 They are designed to be sprayed and are prethinned for that purpose. I don't think they can be brushed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiex2 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) @PhantomBigStu I've been a fan and have used Mission Model Paints for over four years. I brush with them all the time with no issues. Brushes clean just fine with water but I usually use MM Airbrush Thinner to give the brushes a final cleaning at the end of a paint session. They also airbrush just fine but be sure to follow their instructions and use the their poly additive. I will add that they do take a bit of getting used to so toss out your book on how you use other acrylic paints. Most of the complaints I see in forums about MM paints is by modelers who didn't follow the directions. Mere's a link to their FAQ's https://www.missionmodelsus.com/pages/tips-and-tricks-faq Bottom line for me is, depending on the project, Mission Model Paints and Vallejo are my go-to paints. I do occasionally use Tamiya and Model Master but mostly to use up my stock of special colors.
