SOO CLOSE TO 100K SUBS HECK YEAH LET'S GOOO I love their chrome and gold, great review as always my friend hope the family is great. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏
I enjoy your videos, but wish you’d add a clear spoon with a clear base for candy colors. That really shows the clarity of the paints/inks. If you put a true candy beside of transparent paint the candy should be clear like window tint versus the transparent being fuzzy.
Vary nice informational video Robert an the price is good for 8 colors I just may have to order it an as always thanks for the time an effort you invest into the video's for us 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't know anything about candies but I really like the look of the brushed blue on the figure. I believe that looked better than it would have if sprayed. Made it look more real world. Nice informative video
I REALLY like these longer videos. the 15min videos just fly by. thank you for this lol and VERY NICE LOOKING PAINTS !!!! that gold was really surprising !! 99.5k SUBS !!! 100k HERE WE COME !!!!!!!!!! SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT !!! LOL
unbeleivable I bought that candy red 5 years ago and was under the improession I had just messed it up, thats exactly the "red" I ended up with, but besides that the other colors look great!
Wow awesome test definitely a cheap alternative for just a box stock build love the blue and green 😁🤩scooter😎ps although i have to agree with you on the lacquer clears such as yourn thx rex 😂😋
Stop showing me paints that can’t fit in my showroom. Just kidding great video as always I’m not gonna we’re bored of these because I don’t have room I need to paint. I don’t have room for anything. Proud, proud, patriot member commenting to support the video and the channel. Be well be you
will try these. I bought my first trigger airbrush the other day and i noticed it is harder to do air-paint-air with it, compered with a traditional airbrush. With waterbased acrylics it is very important to always have air on. Less tip dry then 👍
Another amazing review - thank you so much! It seems like I might want to try some of these inks but maybe not buy a whole set. But one thing about your video kind of blew my mind: I've seen you use Alclad Chrome on lots of videos and use it myself occasionally, but I never get results anything close to yours. Would you consider doing a deep dive into how you achieve these amazing results with Alclad?
Thanks for the test! Did you ever have an issue when doing a clear over a chrome and the clear essentially melting the chrome? I kinda had that with mr hobby clears over both alclad and gsw chrome :(
For me, I am interested in whether these can be used to replicate "clear skin" painting method that is typically done with lacquer based Mr Hobby paint range. If they thin down well with clear paint, then I think this might be a good solution without the investment of another set of paint with different chemistry
I've had really mixed experiences with GSW. most bottles are fine, their newer formulation seems to catch up to most of the other acrylic brand standards, but I've had bottles that were watery or gummy (similar to old Army Painter), had cracked nozzles, washes that dried way glossy, tonal inconsistencies (same paint being totally different hues across two bottles bought at separate times), etc. And whatever pigment they're using to mix their red tones across various product categories is just... ugly, frankly. They've got lots of good ideas and offer stuff that the other companies don't, so I'm not trying to knock them, there's just some headaches that can materialize when you buy from them. as can be the case with any brand, i suppose.
Generally the grease proof paper that comes with the wet palette is no good , I do like the look of that wet palette as it has extra compartments to the side , I do a fair bit of brush painting
Enamels last the longest followed by lacquers. But if you seal them correctly most will last a very long time. Consider storing them in airtight containers, that goes a long way
@@seans4018 most acrylics are flat so you would definitely need a Gloss. I like Vallejo Model Air and Game Air. Vallejo Metal Varnish is a good acrylic Gloss as is Alclad Aqua Gloss
That's my own personal branded Swallowtail Airbrush. You can get it on Amazon here amzn.to/4hKjsgu Or directly at the manufacturer where it's on sale right now, mine is the blue one www.gaahleri.com
If they're a European paint company I should be able to pick it up at a reasonable price , I see what you mean about shipping UK and Europe unfortunately I couldn't afford to get some of your paints as the shipping was more than the paint , I'm looking for good candy colours but don't seem to be able to get them on English soil . Hope you and the family are well, you deserve the 100k
the red one os not a bad batch, I bought it for a proyect and i was dissapointed that it was that weird salmon red, when i wanted that vibrant red, in the end I used red metalic from MIG
I'm pulling my hair out (and it's a precious commodity, so this is serious ), I have a Swallowtail that is bubbling in the cup, now various sites have said it is leaking at the head. I changed the "O" ring at nozzle and this didn't fix the problem- I hope it's not the internal packing, this problem is fairly recent, the unit is less than a year old- suggestions????
I love GSW I’m so glad you did this line! I have two and looked through the channel to see if you had done any. I used it for the eyes on my nids and after two or three coats it added a nice touch. Looking at the magenta for some zaku eyes 👀
From what I've seen, transparent paints often get called "inks" in the miniature/wargaming painting community and products aimed at them. Just one of those differences in terminology between different subgroups of the hobby. I'd be interesting in seeing a video from you some day about dye-based candies VS pigment-based candies, if that's a topic you feel worth tackling.
Yeah thats a good point. Especially with how sue happy GSW is with names. I am specifically referencing them "copyrighting" the name color shift paint.
I am a huge fan of Green Stuff World's paints. Not only are they non-toxic, but they look great and are easy to spray. Another great review, as always. You are the OG of Airbrush and always have great content and recommendations. For any of you not a sub, click that button and let's get this channel over 100K.

Well I am impressed, thank you for the testing, it’s very helpful.
You're welcome buddy and thanks for watching
Looks pretty nice. I use mostly acrylics for my model builds & I believe these would be very nice to have!!!
So close to that 100k subs. Someone will have a great Christmas. Thanks for the video BR.

Not sure without seeing it. Did you take out the needle and nozzle just before it started? Can you spray water thru it?

Great stuff, would love to see a video on jumpwind meka colors. Thanks again for doing all these reviews. Highly enjoying the swallowtail.
Very nice, Rex. You already know that I have to get one...
Looks cool. 🥄
Great video thanks for doing this
Let's gooooo 500 more

I think they are nice… for being waterbased acrylics. I will always prefer clears by Gaia or Tamiya LP.
I need to get these paints. The last brown you showed looked like rootbeer to me.

Fancy colors I wish that I could find a use for them in my military models
I would try 7 drops yellow/3 drops magenta for a gold. Thanks Rex!
Nice!
Hey that robot kai place has them airbrush stands now I ordered one

What a hit or miss set of colors! I think I’ll stick with Tamiya solvent based paints. Any chance of a Mecha Empire chrome kit in future?
I'm looking into it for sure. I'll have UV paints coming out
@@barbatosrex9473 YES!!! Looking forward to those!
Are those trigger style airbrushes single or double action or something else ?
Dual Action, check out my video on this topic here

@@barbatosrex9473 Thanks your videos are great. Do you have a Patreon page, ?
Just curious, would it look about the same over black as it does over the chrome?
Always great vidios, I’m new to air brushing at 65, have you tested Paasche Extreme Air paint? Thanks
I haven't but I'll look into it
did you thin the paints before airbrushing them?
Savatage cd……nice
tempting
Thanks for the test!
Did you ever have an issue when doing a clear over a chrome and the clear essentially melting the chrome? I kinda had that with mr hobby clears over both alclad and gsw chrome :(
I haven't run into that at all. I use Alclad for most chrome bases
@@barbatosrex9473 thanks for the reply! I have the ammo version of alclad, maybe that's different. Or it's a me issue and i just have to keep trying 😅
Thanks.
Of all the paints you've tested, which would you recommend for Chrome?
The 3 you see on the bench are among the best. Alclad, SMS and GSW
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you! I believe though that you can no longer get Alclad in the U.S. - it's been replaced by A-Stand.
@@rickgregory9616 It's the same stuff, just under a different brand. I've used it and it works fine.
@@barbatosrex9473 I apologize. I was given wrong info regarding Alcad. It IS still available in the U.S.

What is the average "shelf life" of most paint? And do enamels\lacquers last longer than acrylics ?
Enamels last the longest followed by lacquers. But if you seal them correctly most will last a very long time. Consider storing them in airtight containers, that goes a long way
If you HAD to use one acrylic paint for your vehicles what would it be? And what would you use for primer and gloss? Asking for a friend :P

Check out Alclad or A-Stand candy colors. Those are from the UK
That bottle of red looks like a bad batch. Looking online at GSW, the red is much more intense. Just odd.
