Paint suggestions

[Abmandalore]

Hey guys,
So I'm looking for a little guidance here from the experts, I'm currently on the Humbrol site adding paints to a cart but what I am noticing that they don't have every color with Acrylic. Now I am a HUGE acrylic fan over enamel I just seem to get better results with it plus clean up isn't has rough as it is with enamel with regards to using thinners and what not.

So here is my NOOB question what do you guys use. Acrylic, Enamel, a combination of the two? Obviously if I have to mix colors and all the have is Enamel with one color but Acrylic with another I should go Enamel. But I have never really tried doing a mix of the two with one project.

Should I just pony up the extra 10 cents per color and go enamel?

Thanks for the help!

I've used a mixture of acrylic and enamel on the same project before. Can't say I noticed the difference really other than the acrylic was easier to clean. That said I've gone for enamel colours when available.

I use both on a single paint project just make sure each layer is fully dry before the next goes on. I have no problem with enamels and I keep a large jug of paint thinner around when working with them. Clean up isn't bad if you just stay on top of things.

That's good to know, thanks for the heads up.
