Title: Trade paint names and applications
Post by: MistyEyedWanderer on April 09, 2024, 06:12:18 PM
Hunting around for equivalents to hobby paint has brought even more confusion.

There are some well know paint manufactures, but the type of paints stocked are foreign to me.

I was amazed to find Craftmaster paints who appear to have a connection to HMG paints, who it seems, produce hobby specific products.

If I wanted an Enamel paint mixed similar to Humbrol enamel tins/cherry paints enamel made to order for an unavailable colour, should I be asking for 'coach' paint?

Perhaps there is also an equivalent trade name for acrylics?
