Just a qustion, QWhy do you need so much paint?




Also whats it for?

ShootPaint

Thats a lot of paint????

I have roughly 118 different colors. Granted some of them are custom mixed but that vast majority of them are standard colors I have ordered. If I take out the mixed stuff I still have close to 90 different colors and types of paints. Each paint serves its own purpose. I have some Latex, Laquer and Enamel.

Funny thing is I was looking to purchase some more paints today and was a little frustrated to find out the supplier to my LHS hasnt got their shipment in yet so my LHS hasnt gotten my requested paints in yet. That would be another 15 colors added to my list

As far as your list goes I would make some changes to it if it was me.

I would try to find a Hobby Lobby or a Michaels close to you and purchase the Createx line of Paints. These are latex paints as well. Over half of my latex paints are Createx. The nice thing about the Createx paint is its price. You still get a 2 oz bottle but it is roughly $3 a bottle. Doesnt sound like much of a difference but if you get back to your list and add up all the paint you are wanting to purchase I bet by getting the createx you can purchase 1 or 2 more bodies with the saving you would have over the Parma paints!!! If you want to save even more money you can purchase their bundles of florescent, standard and transparent colors for roughly $15. That saves you roughly another $.25 per color over the parma!!!

If you feel the need to stay with the parma paint check out this site for a much better price on the parma line.

Thats going to be one colorful body.

Revo Racer 16

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost got 1 of every color of Createx at michaels today. but it did not say if it was safe to use on lexan. So I can use that kind of paint.

Show off.

I am very serious. There is nothing wrong with use Createx paint for lexan bodies. I use it over the Parma paint due to price.
Just like any latex based paint you need to make sure you put on several thin coats to get good adhession to the body. One thick coat will cause the paint to chip/peel over time.

If you have a hobby lobby go there and compare the prices. My local Michaels is about $.50 higher per bottle than the hobby lobby, not to mention you can get prepackaged kits for even less than buying one bottle at a time.

I buy from www.coastairbrush.com. You can buy createx paint from them. 32 oz bottle for $18.00. 16 oz for $11.00, 8oz for 6.50,and 4 oz for 3.25. I bought the 32oz in the colors I use most. Just think how much you can save buying a 32oz bottle.you get 16 2oz bottles in a 32 ounce .You would be saving 44 dollars a bottle. I know you want alot of differnt colors but the basic colors like black white and red would be good in 32 oz. Just thought I would post my 2 cents.Parma gets their paint from createx in raw form by the way.

My Feedback: (1)

would it be feasible to just buy a few bottles of the primary colors and make your own?

TylerF

Yeah I use to buy the 2 oz bottles too until I found you can get big bottles for 18.It usually takes about 4 days to ship to the east coast from coastairbrush.

Revo Racer 16

Well this is what I did. I got the Regular and Pearlized Primary colors. Black, White, and silver.
