Vallejo paints......
« on: June 13, 2025, 01:29:24 AM »
Just a heads-up people.
I switched over to acrylics about 3-4 years ago. Started with Mission round and round, now with Vallejo and love 'em.
Some genius at Vallejo redesigned the label without any thought or research into the subject.
Now we have the number and color name on the BOTTOM of the label. EXACTLY where we can not read it...



Going forward, I am saving the old bottle and will refill with new material when empty so I can continue to see what I need on the rack.....
Just stupid.....

I have had nothing but problems with their paint going bad , all my metal coats have gummed up and can't be used . Yet have had no issues with their brush paints , those I just love !

I haven't experienced any going bad.  Towards the end of the bottle, particularly if its been around for a while, it needs thinning or just throwing away but 95% of the bottle is always useable.  I live in a small unit with limited space and no tolerance for fumes, so Vallejo are ideal.  Alexis, when you say "metal" what do you mean?  I do admit, I use Vallejo for aluminium, steel etc but when it comes to brass, copper etc I break my rule and use ALCLAD.

I agree moving the contents to the bottom of the label was a weird move.  I guess it was the marketing department in their eternal search for relevance.

Cheers,

Ian
