Hi guys

me mom recently bought a few pots of revell color(i told her to buy the gw stuff, but for some reason she ended up in a different shop and bought revell...yeah!)
Anyways on the pot it says "Emaile paint"...now gw uses acrylic, and i was just wonderin if i can use it in conjunction with the gw colors or na?
Has anyone ever used emaile?

thx

Are you sure it says "Emaile"? Maybe it says "Enamel".

If it's enamel you can't mix it with acrylic. You can mix it with itself, and you can paint it on top of or underneath enamels. Also you can't thin or clean it with water, you need to use White Spirit.

Enamel is good but you are better off with all acrylic.

Email color(weirdest name ever)

weird.
the fact that it looks like small cans of housepaint makes me not trust it

True that...my mom bought 2 black pots(1 matt and 1 shiny)and some brown..i use the black paint as base coats...but can i use the brown for backpacks etc.???
Does it work together with acrylics?

IMHO bin it. I used to use it for airfix models. It takes ages to dry, you need white spirit to clean your brushes and it is too shiney. as Kilkrazy said, It won't mix with acrylic but you can paint acrylic over the top once it has dryed. Emaile is revell's brand name for their enamel range.

IMMO bin it and berate ur mom.
