belugawhaleman Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 I see that my local hardware store now stocks Mission Models paint in its "hobby section". Is this stuff any good? Just curious really, I'll continue to use my Tamiya acrylic paint. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2021 Administrators Posted May 6, 2021 I use the line myself. Not on everything, but on a lot of stuff. I like MMP. The paint is very different than all others, it’s water based, and I’ve had some adhesion problems if I mix products. Use their primer, and their reducer let’s it flow better as well. mMP paint is thick. You must thin it go airbrush it, and a little goes a long, long way. Use their thinner, follow their recommended mixes and vary it to your taste. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 My LHS is discontinuing carrying MMP paint because a bottle lasts so long that they don't get the same number of sales for other brands. One of the guys at the store only used a third of a bottle when he painted the HK Lanc. I've used it a few times and like it. Sue likes it more as it has no odour to it when I airbrush. I have had the odd adhesion issue but nothing recent after I followed their mixing instructions (as Ernie said). By the way, the thinner is the same as Createx (they make the paint for MMP)along with the catalyst. Carl 1
