Went in a Halfords today for the first time in a long time and noticed that they had some interesting paints in. Does anybody have any experience of these?

Interesting, wonder how the camo paints match BS or FS colours ? Could be handy for armour builders if close enough match :thumbsup:
Not much help I know but.....the black is very black and very very matt....
the cammo cans are very very matt, I used the green over standard white primer on some wargames figs, id say a dead matt finish ( id ask my friend who used to work in paint qc how matt/gloss but he tends to rant if im not careful)

Yup but a lot of it is very dark grey. Probably find no 2 manufacturers "black" are the same, if you use them on adjoining parts it's amazing the difference sometimes :blink:
hmm im wondering if the cammo range is aimed at the ex military vehicle scene as much as modelers. Would certainly be handy for small "touch up" jobs on 1/1 scale wagons.
Martin, I think its is, as I mentioned it is almost too matt to use on wargames figs, and it sucks the gloss out of anything else that's added ( ink washes, dry brushing, metallics)
