lets talk about paint brand and type, i am new on this and i choose to buy Gaia colors....why?

because i think Gaia got serious nice and the colors is "alive".... question is how to differentiate it is enamel or acrylic. Most of blog and site i read suggested enamel over acrylic for hand paint, and i can only do hand paint since AB kit cost a bomb....

can please share?

Gaia is neither acrylic nor enamel. It's lacquer, i believe. As to how to differentiate them, you could usually tell from the name. It will usually say acrylic, aqueous, or enamel on the bottle. If nothing's stated, it's usually lacquer. I'd advise asking the shop owner where you bought it from for confirmation.

Enamel is the best for hand painting since it dries the slowest. You could still use acrylic/lacquer with some drops of retarder to slow the drying process.

Thanx for answering....i've recently purchase quite number of colors from mgs2u and to be honest Gaia colors are much more nicer than others i saw. Well its just my opinion. Btw, mgs2u advised me to buy the brush master thinner since it is thinner + retarder.

I still haven't try it yet coz quite busy this few days. sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif
