Review: Blackest of the black paint - Vallejo black has been my go to black paint for over a year now.. it is a great black color which is on the real dark side. This makes sense if you have plenty of different black paints like I do. It’s nice and thick w out being too thick and can be thinned out w great ease. The application is easy and creamy smooth. The opacity is wonderful but you can also thin it go a nice glaze. Vallejo has great paints. I would say the price point is a little high with Prime free shipping BUT if you buy it cheaper elsewhere you will generally pay the same w their shipping rate. Might as well keep using desertcart due to the fast shipping. Don’t hesitate and enjoy this great black color.
Review: Exceptional Retarder for acrylics - Was having a ton of dry tip issues with Testor's Aqua Color acrylic satin black. No amount of thinner to the right consistency could solve the issue so I ordered the Vallejo retarder and after mixing the Testor's with the necessary amount of thinner, a few drops of flow improver, and about 7% Vallejo Retarder. Keeping in mind, I'm used to only being able to get about 20-30 seconds of spray time before the tip would clog, I wasn't expecting more than a couple minutes of extended spray time. To my surprise, I got as much time as I needed, including with breaks between parts and getting a snack or the restroom. I was able to spray about 15 parts over an hour long session with minimal tip wiping. I know there are many retarder manufacturers and plenty of rebranded stuff but I'm a primarily Vallejo user and trust the brand so that was my primary reason for purchasing this particular product. In that same vein of thought, even though the paint was Testor's, I had enough faith in Vallejo to do the job and it did beautifully well! Highly recommended for acrylic retarder.
