What is the difference between the oil and the acrylic paints and which is best for which application.

The oil paints are oil based and need a thinner such as turpenoid (ordorless) or linseed oil to thin (and clean) Acrylic paints are waterbased and thin and clean up with water. The whole Bob Ross painting method is based on painting wet paint into wet paint-in other words, the wet paint does most of the blending work. Acrylic paint dries quickly and even with a retarder or additional medium to slow drying time, must be worked quickly to get the same effects. It is much harder for a beginner to use. If you want to get the same results as the Bob Ross show or the DVD, stick with the oil paints. Always use some form of ventilation when working with any oil based paints.

Acrylic and lacquer are totally different items so find out which it is first. If it is a true lacquer I would be hesitant to use it.find out about your current finish and contact the manufacturer.

Most models do not come with paint inside the kit due to shipping restrictions, etc. Plus, most modeling companies leave the option up to the modeler as to the use of acrylic versus enamel paints. I only had one model that had paints included, but it was water-based acrylic paint for which I quickly handed off to my grandson to play with. As a long time modeler, I prefer enamels over acrylics due to their longer lifespan without fading, etc.

It is OK, but right now the world is changing , good acrylics are available and are available in more and stronger colors and they are sold here on Amazon. Testors used to be the standard, but it is an enamal and the solvent is an alcohol, between colors the paint brushes have to be cleaned in this alcohol. Acrylics are water based and the brushes are cleaned in water. Again both will work, especially if you are starting with a new card and not just touching up an existing card.

For oil paintings, you should go with the lowest color temp. For LED, that would be 2700K. It has a little more of a yellow tint than the 3000K. The higher the color spectrum gets to sunlight, it will cause damage. I like that the LED also keeps heat away from the artwork.

I think those questions are best answered by the manufacturer, personally I prefer the spray. Thanks for asking.Chick Smith

When I use this on models I have used Reaper acrylics and Freak Flex acrylics. When I finish the model I always use a clear coat spray, either flat or gloss, depending on the model. I always have to use more than one coat of Freak Flex paint, they are pretty thin. So far I haven't had any chipping on them. Hope that helps!

The reason they have face paint is to not clog the pores and because regular paint is too harsh on skin and can break the skin out in a rash...so the face paint is milder and more gentle on the skin as wella s the fact atht it glides on better and flexes with ur skin movements. Acrylic and other craft paints are NOT meant to be used on skin. You should only use cosmetic products that are designed for face painting. Craft paints can contain nickel, latex, and carcinogens that can cause serious reactions. Also the pigments used in craft paints are not compliant with cosmetic testing regulations and are not always safe for skin. If you want to use craft paints on yourself, you are using at your own risk. Just PLEASE do not use them on others, especially children. There is special paint for face painting. Face paint is unique in that it doesn't form a crust. If you put any other kind of craft paint on it would dry and you wouldn't be able to talk or make any facial expressions without cracking the paint.

haven't used w/acrylics. I like the way they move on canvas and I do seal them before and after each step to prevent running.

I would say gloss. Not sure how it would absorb airbrush or acrylic though.

Acrylic paints usually work best and I have the least issues with bubbling or separating. Between latex and enamel, I would probably use enamel. I doubt you would experience any major issues with the latex but the enamel would give you a stronger bond with the surface material and better color consistency from pre-resin to dry dry resin.

Acrylic. None of the paint sets from Dimensions are Oil as far as I've seen.

If using an oil based paint such as Rustoleum topside paint, oil based Marine Primer for metal would be best. If for some reason you are using Latex paint then Latex primer would be good. You will not get the gloss of topside paint with a Latex though.

I do not know if there is a "difference". This very lamp used by my nail tech when I visit the salon. Whether I've done gel manicure or acrylics, this lamp is the one being used.

I have a lot of experience doing both. Easy to cut. Easy to paint. For better adhesion, a better look and for durability use a primer before painting.
