P3 paints, any good?
« on: April 13, 2013, 08:16:11 PM »
I'm curious about p3 paints and their quality. I like their bright colors and I'm thinking about running some through the airbrush I just picked up for basecoating; so anyone can out there use them and have any insight on the paints.

I use the paints for my Circle I think they are pretty good for base coating and mixing up some colors

From what I use I do like the coverage of their colors, but I do prefer GW Metallics.
Oh and I love their Inks.

I did read somewhere that a few of the P3 metallics were recalled, (gold and something else), but it's nice to hear that their inks are good, I'm not a big fan of the new washed from GW, nuln oil in particular.

They're not bad I'm still using them except for the gold I had - dried up in a couple of days - went bad really fast.

I only use one color the carnal pink for a highlight color for my tau. It goes on good, my only real beef would be the flip top lids I prefer the dropper (vallejo) I usually disconnect the lid from the bottle and whens there enough paint in it I flip it over on top of the pot, seems to help

i am a big fan of p3 paints.   Their metallics do leave some to be desired, they separate and dry up quickly.   the regular paint is amazing, i love their bright colors.   The Necrotite Green is perhaps my fav paint color out there

The bright colors is what I am most interested in and its sounding like I'm going to be giving them a go, thanks everyone for the info. Now just need to decide if I want bright blue or green marines, I grew tired of the dark angels green very quickly and want something more flashy.

I've used there "pig iron" and "brass balls" metallics without any issue. I like how they aren't super thick like GW's plus you get more paint for slightly less money than GW's.
