Gazzas Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The title says it all. Is this the stuff many of you are currently enjoying? Thanks! Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 They're one and the same thing. Mr. Paint rebranded as MRP in order to combat the ongoing confusion with the Mr. Color brand, but otherwise they're identical products. MRP did recently launch a new range of aqueous acrylics, which are a different thing. They're intended to give modellers a brush-paintable option for performing touch-ups, though ironically I only tested them for airbrushing: https://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1996 Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks Kevin, I was trawling through BNA's paints and was surprised to see how many military colors were available in their acrylic lacquers range which I've been curious to try out. But then I noticed the bottle looked different from the one that ppl were picturing on threads here. They're certainly a bit more expensive than the old bottle of Tamiya, though. Added to that will be shipping... I might as well buy enough bottles to get past BNA's free-shipping total...lol Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I've heard a rumour that MRP has begun replacing its glass bottles with plastic ones that feature a flip-top style lid. I haven't seen these yet, but I can only imagine this is a cost-saving measure. Kev Gazzas and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitch Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 They also had some of the glass bottles breaking while being mixed. Andy Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got in a bottle of back-logged RLM 04 and it indeed is plastic with the flip top lid. I was pissed off. I like the glass bottles. No ball bearing or whatever on the inside for shaking, either. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they stopped putting the BBs in the glass bottles too, prior to switching over to the plastic bottles. I thought the BBs were a great idea, and really helped mix up the paint.
