Rick Griewski Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The color number is now at the bottom of the label. It is now hidden from view when the bottle is sitting in the paint rack’s hole locations. Marketing people can be clueless about the topic of usability. The current color labeling is to small. I will have to print labels with bigger font guess. Stick them where I can see them.

I already did that thirty years ago on the bottom when I was storing my Humbrol tinlets upside down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 No room on cap. I paint the cap now so I can at least see and narrow down search for the hue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I like the AK 3G acrylic bottles. They have a recess in the center of the white cap so you can put a drop of paint there to see the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I like the paint but I will email the company and see if they have some kind off going out of business disease. D.B. Andrus and Dragon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckD Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Could you put a small piece of masking tape on the visible part of the bottle and write the ref on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 progress is all right it just went on too long progress is not a illusion, it happens but is slow and disappointing change is inevitable, successful change not so much. I can remember a time when I could use a brush to paint Tamiya paints. D.B. Andrus and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst of all is when Marking decides to “freshen up the Brand”. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - I write the product number on top of the cap of every bottle of MRP (which are nice and white so easy to write on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Cap numbers too small to see from arms length. Sticky label numbers are 13 point size, very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
