Gunze GSI Creos Mr Color

[belugawhaleman]

I have projects coming up involving the use of Gunze GSI Creos Mr Color paints.

And would appreciate any info as I'm not too familiar with them.

Do they brush well (paint brush)? They are lacquer, I assume so leveling thinner

would be used.  I know the have a water based line, right? The manufacturer of

these kits recommendeds these colors, so that's what'll use.

I love their lacquer paints, haven't tried using their Aqueous line.  Use Mr. Color Leveling Thinner - I usually go 1:1 or up to 1:2 paint to thinner.  Personally, I found them to be very good paints that spray really well and leave a hard finish that you can sand if need be.  I've never had their paint pull up from being taped.  I'm trying to move more to Vallejo to stay with healthier acrylics, but find myself using Mr. Color more and more.  They have a lot of colors, more so than Tamiya which makes finding the exact color call out very easy.

I try not to brush paint with them, but only to do very minor touchups.  Otherwise, I treat Mr. Color like Tamiya and use them in an airbrush.
