joka545 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) What is the best kind of white paint to use for customizing. I use the citadel skull white but I am not crazy about it, are there any other kinds of brands that maybe better, because the consistency and the way the minimate looks with the skull white kind of sucks .

koi-girl Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 For opacity I really like Testors enamel white. The nice thing is that it comes in either matte or glossy. On the other hand, 59 cent acrylic paint from any craft store, with a few more coats will work just as well. The problem with Testors is that it takes longer to dry, you have to leave it alone for a good couple of days for it to get completely dry to the touch, depending on the surface you've painted on. I haven't tried Citadel white. When I did use them, I found that you really couldn't overpaint, one pass was all you got for a smooth surface. Hope this helps!

MINI_MYTE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 How are you applying the paint? I use the same brand (Citadel). I find that when using an airbrush it can come out like tiny stucco, but enough applications look great after drying. Applying with a brush can have its challenges, if you are painting a large area. Fine detail however applies amazingly with a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I use Model Masters. It is made by Testors, but it is a higher quality than their cheaper brand. It goes on smoothly and dries quickly. I buy it at my local hobby shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
