Dspiae lacquer paints

[John]

Dspiae want me to start stocking their new lacquer paints, if their paints are as good as their tools then they will be good, but I don't think there will be that much of a call for the colours they have, they are 18ml bottles and will retail at around £3.89, below are the colours, any feedback will help me make a decision

Hi John

Large choice but are any RAL or RML paints?

No that’s the full list, that’s what’s putting me off from getting them, I wouldn’t say they are popular colours.

I agree John, not much use to military makers

[dave]

they don’t look much use to military modelers, maybe civilian vehicles or the Japanese Mecha, but not sure that is a big market for you John.

[Del640]

Great for the odd colours you may use (red,orange etc) but for the bigger audience I don't think there is a repetitive colour range there at all.

[slupanter]

The clears may be nice but I agree with the others on the lack of military colours.

[Mr Bowcat]

There's a few colours there I would be interested in for cars/bikes.

[BarryW]

No good for aircraft or other military. I have no idea what the demand would be for non military colours.

Saw a review from someone in the US of these. He was very complementary and loved the colour range but I gather he's into cars and Gundam, which this range of paints would work well on, as Dave noted in an earlier post.

Hiya John
Not sure if this is ongoing for consideration as it is an older thread and if you need to take on the whole range or can be selective on colours that you stock but I have recently watched a review of the metallics being used and they look very very good. Specifically the Bronze SM-7 looks to be a great colour.

Also in particular what stood out in their metallics range the 'EP-1 Plating Color Chrome Silver' & SPM-1 Super Silver / SPM-2 Black Base look to be very interesting paints.

The review on YouTube is by a guy in the states who does mostly Gunpla but I guess may be sponsored but his paint reviews are normally pretty fair and balanced, I won't post any links as not sure on the rules for that but can PM you a link if you like..

They also do a Chrome silver marker refill CR-10 and pens MKC-01,02,03, similar to the Molotow ones which can be airbrushed for chrome finish that look good..

AlexBB I won't be stocking the paints, the problem is getting them over here, DSPAIE can't supply me with safety sheets (MSDS) so my freight forwarder won't take them, we have the pens in stock, they have the same problem, I got them to send them but it took over 4 months, so I won't be getting those in again.

You can find the pens here https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/pai...76/dspiae-m182

Hi John
Oh I see, well thats a shame.. Though I understand entirely..

We had similar issues when I was still at work with some suppliers, the irony was often that although we had do a shed load of work to put together the MSDS packs and Technical files they were never ever viewed by anybody at all!!
We had a company policy of sending encrypted PDF files for the electronic data packs and very rarely if ever got asked for the password!!
The hard copy packs were sealed with a security seal and these also had mostly never been opened! and even when they had it was only looking for copies of the C27 Form which was on the outside of the package in any case!!

The worst suppliers we used were based in France and they didn't even produce data sheets for some of the products they normally only supplied to the French market only! Moaned like hell at having to produce and supply them and the worst part was that they were part of our own group of companies!!!
