I am Honestly going bald pulling my hair trying to find the right color & brand acrylic or enamel paint. It seems, every type I used is either to dark or way to lite. Can someone help me before I loose anymore HAIR.
Thanks, BILL

Well, you don't want to brush paint Tamiya anyway It doesn't work. Vallejo is so worth getting for brush painting it's the only brand you should use for brush painting. It is worth ordering.
