Hello! I signed up here because I thought the members would be able to offer me advice on choosing a paint. I do not create scale models but have used Testors Acrylics for many years to restore symbols on vintage My Little Pony Toys. I use them because they have an amazing ability to smooth themselves out as they dry, thus leaving no paint strokes visible, and are beautifully smooth to the touch. Standard craft acrlic paint like Apple Barrel dries with many paint brush strokes and has a dry, crusty feel.
Sadly, Testors discontinued their Acrylics in square bottles about a year ago. I noticed on their site that they've re-designed them and begun to reproduce their acrylic line, but in the meantime, the hobby shoppe I purchased from closed their doors.
I'm stuck! I can't seem to find anyplace online that sells them at a reasonable rate and have no stores nearby that carry them.
Can anyone suggest a replacement brand with similar properties? (Enamels are out of the question--must be acrylic.)
Thank you for your advice!
