Ive been contacted by a Ukrainian company called Arcus, they produce enamel paints, has anyone used them? Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
I've not used them or even heard of them. Looking at their website they do look to do a very full range. Those of us who like enamel paints may be prepared to give them a try. Looking at the few UK stockists they seem keenly priced.

I’ve only found one in the UK that has the sets, but looking at his prices he hasn’t taken in to account delivery, duty etc, so while they will be well priced they won’t be that cheap
 
I only looked quickly and did indeed just see sets of 6 themed colours. I confess I didn't look at any associated costs.
 
Not used them John but I was aware of them , having seen some on ebay . The sets are going for about a tenner , very competitive for a set of six and the range of colours and subjects chosen for the sets is excellent . Shame they only do enamels ( yet) as this might hold them back due to acrylics being far more popular these days . We’ll have to wait and see the reviews - if they cover well , are easy to use and most importantly dont smell too strong and dry reasonably quickly they might get some converts .

They was going to start doing acrylics they had it all setup to produce them then the war started, but from the sound of it they will be doing them.
 
Hi John
I’m interested. I’d like to see how they fair when thinned for airbrushing. Although i use a variety of different paint types I’m finding more and more that I much prefer to airbrush with lacquer paints (they just perform better). Thinning the enamels may be a good alternative to the pre-thinned paints.
