Dbean, Oil/Solvent based: I have found Floquil to supply wonderful paints, they are my first choice. They flow out well and do not show brush strokes. Humbrel, Testers, Testers Model Master are all good paints. I find the small testers paints to have the shortest life span, but I still use them. Scalecoat is another. However, I have no experiance with this product. Acrylics: Modelflex and Pollyscale are all great stuff. (I don't know for sure if Modelflex is acrylic). I only brush on paint. I don't have a spray rig and don't feel the necessity for one. Others feel spraying is necessary and I won't argue. What works for you, is what works best! Some feel solvent based paints are dangerous! If this is a concern for you, stay with the acrylics as the honest truth is acrylics are very good, too! I have to say I feel most of the paints available are good products. If they weren't, the company would not still be in business.
