This question has been asked before, but I want a definitive answer for all of those who are curious. What, if any, are the differences in the brands of pigments? Are some easier to apply? Is one more correct of a color? Or is it just which one you feel comfortable with?

Matt,

I'm no pro at modelling but I've tried a few pigments, my favourite to date is life colour, I used it to do the rust detail on the bottom of a spare door for a dio, got to the second page if you wish to see for yourself, found it easy to use and mix.

Hi Matt,

One of the primary differences between pigments besides the colors are how fine is it ground.

For Instance I have the following.

Doc O'Brians pigment set from micromark. Ok and works fairly well, but of the pigments I've used this one is least finely ground of those I have. They work, but the results can be a little poor

I'm got some from a brand called AIM pigment powders and they are very finely ground and can almost be painted onto the model. And this one works very well.

I've also recently used some Pigments from AK Interactive, and they blew me away. They are an extremely fine pigment powder. Applied evenly and tended to stay put even when brushing other powders near them or even over them.

to me other than color the finer the pigment the better they are.

I have been using Doc O'Brians pigments. I just got in some of AK's line. I'm expecting the Rust n' Dust, this week.

Matt, to tell the truth, I've been using cheap Art store caulk sticks that I bought off of a rack, and just use #320 sand paper to make my pigments.
