Dazedrodeo Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Has any one used the wildlife acrylics? I saw them on the net while looking for paint and there price is hard to beat. I'm just not sure if their colors are all that good. I also saw the acrylics at wall-mart are they any good or should I stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim45498 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have used the acrylic and really like them. Their color really comes out after applying the clearcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21xdc Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have been using Plaid "Folk Art" and thinning alot for airbrushing. It has worked fairly well for me. But I spent a long time talking to Plaids product knowledge speciaist and she reccomended the Michaels "Craft Smart". It costs $0.50 a bottle instead of $2.00 a bottle. Plaid makes this paint also. Seems to work better than apple barrel as well. So far it has been better than any "craft paint" I have tried. 74 colors. $37 will buy every color.. Just thought I'd share this with my tackle making buds. Mix 50/50 with water. http://www.michaels.com/art/on...p0229 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
