New Paint Sets from ICM! | AeroScale

Hi Wade

I’m a total sucker for new paints (although I’m more at home with lacquer-based than acrylics), but what concerns me is the disclaimer in the picture:

“After drying, the paint gets a very matt texture, for a realistic matte effect, use Varnish Matt (item 2001)”

That reads like the paints dry so matt, they’ll need an absolute ton of gloss-coating before you can apply decals. Nigel Hannant explained to me once that it’s harder to get a good gloss finish with acrylic paints than with enamels, but they actually do pretty well with Xtracrylix. Based on ICM’s disclaimer, these new paints seem like a step in the wrong direction from my point of view, but I hope I’m wrong.

All the best
