Found, great paint for model rr

[dekker]

It is called Anita's All Purpose acrylic craft paint. This stuff is great. It is waterbase. I brushed it on a DPM kit right from the bottle and it looks air brushed. I have an airbrush and have done several kits with it and this paint(brushed on) lays down just as nice. It comes in lots and lots of colors and has a good selection of railroad friendly colors.I got mine at my local Hobby Lobby store. It is only .67 per 2 ounce bottle. They keep it in the craft area instead of the model department. They have several other lines of paint and the most expensive one I saw was still only 1.60 per bottle and it was some kind of metalic line of paint. I used the .67 stuff right from the bottle with a fine tip brush on some detail parts and they look great. Not thick or lumpy looking.It is very fast drying also.Just wanted to pass this on. Thanks

Looks like great stuff! Only problem for me is, of all the stores that carry it, Michaels is NOT one of them. Michaels pretty much control the arts & crafts market in my area, no AC Moore's or any other competitors.

Thanks Dekker! I have several DPM's to work on and I will give it a try.

Here is the website www.synta.com on there they list a web site of a craft place that sells Anita's paints on line and they only ask .67 per bottle and it shows 17+pages of the colors you can buy. Hope this helps.

They are opening a Hobby Lobby here on October 5 so I will keep an eye out our it. I've used the acrylic paint fpor the craft section of Michaels and some of it isn't bad, sometimes, better than Polly S in coverage. At less than a buck for a 4 ounce bottle, it never hurts to try.
