Im painting a darker almost black version of these models :



I do already have most colors(Vallejo Model Color) but there is a couple that I need to fill up and thats Yellow, Blue and Red. I have been using 70-909 Vermilion for red and 70.953 Flat Yellow for Yellow and finally 70839 UltraMarine for blue.

The Vermilion have been nice, the yellow have been a bit bad on covering up like all other yellow paint is. The Ultramarine have hade a strange concictence(texture), its was to thick so it always hade to be blended with alot of watter.

I am mixing most paint I use to get proper shade. Get colors darker is for the most part easy, the hard part is to get them really bright so I tend to buy bright colors.

Should I continue with these paint or switch any of them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781102/10591767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781102/10591767.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781102/10597574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781102/10597574.page GMT
