Out2gtcha Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I messaged MRP on Facebook about the new line I'd seen on their page and if they were going to match the existing shades we may use. The answer was no, these are going to be aimed squarely at figure painters and what I was after for my repair/touch up purposes was their existing Aqua line of paints. I am yet to try these as some reviews I've seen say they are still quite thin and possibly too thin for brushing on. I may just have to order a bottle next time I place an order to test for myself though I'm sure I've seen them reviewed on here last year. Interesting. I have heard the same about the Aquas line being a bit thin for brushing, but I too have yet to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Follow up message, MRP said yes, they are thin but 2-3 coats should do the job. I'll be trying them at some point as much of my painting is now done using MRP paints. Hopefully they'll be fine for the little dab here and there I need to cover up my over spray or bleed through.

davral64 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hang on a sec. I keep getting Mr. paint and mission models paint confused because O the MRP and MMP designation I see a lot. So a couple of questions: Is Mr. Paint (MRP) acrylic or oil/ lacquer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davral64 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Oh I see they sell the big glass bottles which are lacquer? And the little Vallejo ones that are water based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Oh I see they sell the big glass bottles which are lacquer? And the little Vallejo ones that are water based? Yeah. The glass bottles are airbrush ready and perform perfectly. The Aqua range is Acrylic and am yet to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davral64 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Okay, I'm starting to get the picture. Does the paint in the glass Mr.Paint bottles stink when sprayed? In other words if you do you model building at the kitchen table would your wife approve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Okay, I'm starting to get the picture. Does the paint in the glass Mr.Paint bottles stink when sprayed? In other words if you do you model building at the kitchen table would your wife approve? From what I've read a strong vented extractor is required and I know some of the folks here also wear a respirator. So no, would not work well at the kitchen table for painting. Unless you have an amazingly understanding and supportive wife! Chris Edited January 23, 2018 by CANicoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davral64 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, nope so that leaves out the stuff in the glass bottle. Bummer Has anyone seriously used the aqueous in the Vallejo looking bottles yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, nope so that leaves out the stuff in the glass bottle. Bummer Has anyone seriously used the aqueous in the Vallejo looking bottles yet? I reviewed a set a couple of months back: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1996 I found them to be pretty good for general coverage, but not so much for fine detail with an airbrush. I meant to test them with a paint brush too, but ran out of time. One thing that will suit you is that they have practically no smell at all.

davral64 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Your review fits my experience with Mission Model Paints as well. Pretty nice for broad coverage. Poor for fine work. My findings so far regarding any acrylic (non-stinky) based paints is that they are acceptable down to an individual 1/32 panel but if you try to go much smaller you are fighting a losing battle. Thanks for the thread and good words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
