opinons on "cheap" acrylics

[godfather]

I have Delta Ceramcoat Acrylics which sells for about a dollar here in Canada I usually use them for doing ground work. I have noticed that they have some womderful colours for miliatry figures. I use valejo now (but paint with oils) what are peoples experiences with these paints. i would use them to undercoat uniforms, equipment. Maybe as an undercoat for flesh parts of figures and paint german camo smocks. what do you folks think?

Id say go for it!! I used nothing but Folk Art and Apple Barrel acrylics for a while. Pretty good and you cant beat the price.

Talino, You really never know if something will work unless you try. I have used ceramcoat paint for some signwork and it flows really nice. If it works you will have found an inexpensive way to build up a nice selection of colors.~Gary

I use them all the time especially on my AFV models and dios. Mix with windex rather than water for better results. They airbrush nicely as well when dilluted with windex. Be careful when overspraying Tamiya acrylics over them because they will react with Delta's.
On figures they are great as undercoat for the oils,... or when you can't get a certain color in Vallejos
