The fact that the red vary in tone makes a bigger difference than you may think. <br /><br />In my experience it is quite the opposite of what you stated. Over a white background a lighter color should cover better than a darker color. That is because you can get away with more light showing through the pigment of the lighter color than you could on the darker color.<br /><br />Another thing is that without primer it is really tough to make a fair judgment on any scale. How often do you paint with out primering the model? Some paints cover plastic fine without primer some are definitely formulated in such a way that they cover fine over primal but pool and puddle on un-primed surfaces.Master Manipulator (every store needs one)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07746169880232935549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37741516.post-52987575751602152622010-12-01T23:02:14.985-08:002010-12-01T23:02:14.985-08:00Thanks for doing the article.Thanks for doing the article.Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15178222858474907664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37741516.post-9852648179271834302010-12-01T00:59:20.219-08:002010-12-01T00:59:20.219-08:00I use the red for my Khador, they really made red ...I use the red for my Khador, they really made red easier to paint!<br />The only other ones I have used is the blue which is ok and the yellow which I found really hard to use due to it being a very 'dirty' yellow!!docbunglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972513178172383647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37741516.post-9055627507569959532010-11-30T07:22:21.483-08:002010-11-30T07:22:21.483-08:00I agree good information.

I really do like the GW foundation paints, and use them where i can and where they make sense, as a base ;).Maxushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824344955559484411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37741516.post-50408544882579125952010-11-30T05:40:53.817-08:002010-11-30T05:40:53.817-08:00Good article; thanks!

I've found these sorts of comparisons to be difficult to measure quantitatively because of the thinning involved in using acrylics to avoid binder texture. It would be interesting to see what the comparison was if you could somehow thin the paints to exactly the same viscosity. For me, I use a lot of Foundation paints for just that... basecoating. I still thin them out such that multiple coats are required, but maybe 2-3 instead of 5-6 like regular Citadel or Vallejo Game Color would take.Mike Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119045198858883590noreply@blogger.com
