Thanks!

Thanks for the review Jorge.

From the box cover you photographed, the colour looks pretty dark and grey, however your tests show it much lighter (even after the shadows) and with a blue tint.

Did you have any issue with the colour of the photos or is it really that light? perhaps the light grey primer is not fully covered?

It is that light.

Primer was fully coated by the dark basecoat... the second colors are what make it lighter... I guess the box art images are darker (rear side) than the real thing.

I really liked the paint shades... seem to be "to scale" formula.

Hope this helps!

Thank goodness I might not have to custom mix those weird industrial greens any more!

Thanks for the clarification Jorge... too light for my taste, I think I will skip this set despite the easiness of use

Hey, you can always use filters... it is easier to darken than to lighten paint. Also, maybe use the base and shadow, and leave the highlight out!

It should be remembered that paint colours depend a lot on how the photograph was taken and how it is displayed on a monitor.
