Hi Samson,
I use the sets and they do come with a colour leaflet showing how they achieve the results but to be honest it's very much a small " how to"

I started using Scale 75 paints 4 or 5 months ago and I love them! Nice colours and dead, solid flat finish... no more shiny blues, greens and reds
As Nap says there are leaflets in the sets but they only give two examples in each colour set and even they are a quick run through with teeny tiny pics.
They are worth picking up and experimenting to get mixes and triads that you want!
That's my two cents worth of nothing

Hi Samson.
Scale 75 is a brand where the kits of the figures are thought to be painted with airbrush. Samuel, one of the owners, paints with aibrush using the saturation of the colour, so the logical is that his colours can be used with airbrush. I never used them so i cann't give you my opinion about. I read that are very matt, and pigment and diluent separate easily, so is necessary to shake it a lot before use. I know that some people keep them with the bottle upside down to recover the colour faster, and others remove with a drill and a paperclip befor use.

Regards all those who are....or want to use Scale 75.....yes they do need to be well stirred/shaken before using......
A better/easier solution is to get some small stainless steel nuts or 5 mm ball bearings on e-bay.....and pop one into the paint bottle before using....
This will drastically reduce the need for shaking each time

If you have a jigsaw (electric, not puzzle) and a small pistol type clamp you can make a most awesome paint shaker. The skinny end of the clamp fits nicely into the jigsaw (obviously remove the blade first). Clamp the bottle tightly, I found it works best lengthways i.e. the jaws on top and bottom of the bottle. Switch her on and try not to smile.
Not the most practical solution granted, but it's a lot of fun (and it does actually work).

Squizzing and rolling is better than shaking for mix the paint.

i recently bought the Antares red, and 2 other bottles of blue.
They are ok on the Blue, but i was very dissapointed with the red,very nice color out the bottle but when dried it almost does it to a chalky look, so the red loses all of its rich color.
maybe i did not shake the bottle properly, but i was not happy with it.

Daniel, I'm completely sold on these paints for the ultra matt finish. BUT, you have to shake the **** out of them and for base coat, apply multiple thinned down layers... for example, for the zouave's red pantaloons I did 4 thin coats of the base colour to achieve a smooth flat base to work over. That was over white primer BTW.
