Hello everyone !!

New line of spray paint by Vallejo should have hit the shops by now/soonish :

press release :

The Vallejo Hobby Paint Sprays are a perfect combination of base coat and highly pigmented color, developed for use on all metal, plastic and resin models and miniatures.
Our new original and unique AV spray formula leaves a perfect matt and self levelling finish, designed to respect and bring forth even finest details of the models and miniatures.
The Vallejo Hobby Paint Spray assortment includes 3 Basic colors, 19 Fantasy shades, 5 WWII AFV and 4 WWII Infantry colors.
The new Spray Colors are a perfect match to the equivalent shades available in our Game and Model Color ranges, so both painting techniques can be combined.
Each Hobby Paint Spray shows the original color applied on the colored ring around the top and is equipped with 2 different nozzles; one with a low discharge flow, especially recommended for fine lines and small details, and the other with a medium discharge flow, recommended for thicker lines and for covering larger surfaces; the low-pressure valve allows for excellent spray control.
The range is complemented with 3 different varnishes- Gloss, Matt and Satin- recommended for providing extra protection when handling your figures and to give them an overall uniform appearance.

Hello there !!

Just found this one on facebook, it was so good that i had to share it.
Very simple and good way to paint red, only used very common paint.

Tips : Army painter black don't cover much so if you reproduce with GW or Vallejo black thin a lot more than what he say in the video.

His channel just started but there is also a very good yellow tutorial.

Morning everyone !!!

This week i discovered and used a new sort of metal paint, The Vallejo Metal "Metal Color", and I was so impressed by it that i must share it with you !.

This is the most incredible acrylic metal paint i ever used ! Compared to this range, the rest (game color, model color, gw) are total trash
the only one you can keep is "Iron pig" by P3.

I usually use alcohol based metal paint because their shine is over the top, but "Metal Color" range is very close to it and a lot easier to use.
The number of colors is incredible with more than 15 colors. You can Air spray them just fine for perfect coverage and blend. Yes, you can even BLEND them (use glaze medium), and you can even mix 2 paint from this range to create shadow, highlight, layer. Not to mention the incredible coverage !!!

I DECLARE ! I NEVER GOING TO USE ANOTHER PAINT ! (to paint metal)

Alas there is a problem with them, it's the price, 10$ a pot for 32 ml. So it's expensive if you want to get the complete range, but for 20$ you can get : Gun metal grey and Aluminium (one bright on dark) and as you can mix them you can get any color you need. you can then invest in more teint (lot of choice !)

Ps : As with all reflective metal paints, if wash or varnish them, they will loose 90% of their shine.
Ps2 : If you buy them in a local shop, check the bottle before buying, you need to hear a clear "Clap" when you open/close.
