@joepanzer Joe,
I’m one the very hard-core paint brand aficionados (snobs) on the board as my motto is FLOQUIL FOREVER 
I fully respect the excellent results some modeler’s achieve using craft hobby paints on their models.
Check this surprising and interesting thread out: Chris_Bryan’s -how-i-paint-and-weather-s-b-s-tutorial
It’s a great reminder there’s more than one way to success with modeling…if it looks right…its right
