Okey-Dokey, I've been messing around with the paints for the past few evenings and I think I can give a better review and so far it's not that good...
The bonuses that I mentioned before still stand and that is the colors are bright, ready to use out of the bottle, goes on smooth and it's pretty easy to clean up.
But as far as being a tough paint it's no better then Testors Model master Acrylics line, it is more rugged then base coloring with Games Workshop colors but it still chips and scrapes on areas like knees, ankles, elbows and shoulders. The 24 hour cure time is a huge drawback and will probably turn people off about using it especially if they don'e read the directions first. So far it looks as if it adheres to ABS plastics and resin better then it does to the softer vinyl-like parts that biceps, forearms, and shins are made from and I honestly did not expect any real breakthrough with polypropylene parts so no big surprise there that it had issues. Painting out of the bottle is not the best either. Whatever they are using to thin the paint for the airbrush seems to have the opposite effect with regular brushes. It does not go on smooth and does seem to clump a bit. Keeping your brush moist is a big deal when working with these paints in that manner. The texture is odd too, even after sitting for the allotted time it still feels slightly rubbery.
As a staple I would advise not investing in this as a core paint system. So far Testors Model Masters Acrylic and Tamiya brands are better in my opinion but the Mecha Color line would make for excellent highlight choices if using fade effects where you transition between colors.
So if you are looking for something better then what's out on the market already for our hobby I don't think this is going to do much for you. It's a nice addition to what we have but I don't think it's going to replace it.
