Has anyone ever used these paints:

?

From what I understand they are for vinyl animation cells and should bond/stick quite well to the material, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them, especially as an alternative for the increasingly-elusive V-Color?

I know Le Merde uses them and I am also pretty sure bwana uses them as well.

Uh, pretty much every contemporary pop artist uses them to some extent these days. Go on easy, and give a rich opaque when you need it.

Don't these paints dry, and remain a bit tacky?

Nope, but they do dry very a very matte finish. A gloss coat will help that though.

You do something called "puddling" where you kinda dab in a circular motion. You don't want to spread it around like acrylic. They mix well, you can add a little water, and it dries fast.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like they will work, until at least the last reply :? Does this 'puddling' technique mean they cannot be applied like a normal paint?

You can apply it with normal brushes, just dont pull it too much with long strokes.

...also if you order ask them for there pamphlet - it explains the best way to apply and maintain it.

Great info; are these paints light fast (UV resistant)?
Now I want to get some and see what else I can abuse.

I've wanted to get some of these for a loooong time, I've just gotta shell out the dough.
I am curious about airbrushing with them as well...

easily my favorite paints. kind of pricey, but well worth it.

Post subject:  Re: Cel-Vinyl Animation Paints- Anyone Used Them?

OK, one last round of questions before I bite the bullet and buy some paints... these will airbrush OK and like any other paint? What should I use for thinner/cleanup with these paints? I assume they mix normally as well... can't think of any reason why they wouldn't.
