Tools

The same tools I use at my own bench — tweezers, knives, clips, sanding, mixing, and cleanup supplies for model building.

Micro Speed Shapes

Use these micro speed shapes for test painting and paint display. Each shape is 2" wide, 3.5" long, and 1/2" high. This micro size is perfect for scale models, plus the body shape will allow you see any color effects on all the curves and angles. You will also be able to gauge how long it takes the paint to dry and how many coats it takes to cover properly without the risk of having it ruin a project. Do not apply paint directly to plastic, use a primer first.

Paint Strainers

8pk Strainers

8pk Strainers

Our paint strainers are able to cover the tops of a variety of cup sizes so you can easily strain any color and ensure a silk smooth finish. Just place the strainer over the open top of the cup, the elastic band around the strainer will hold it in place, gently pour the paint into the cup, then take it off when you are done and discard it, easy as that! Using a commercially made strainer like this will ensure you get the same results every time you use it. No worries about paint compatibility or differing mesh sizes letting stuff get through.

Because of bottle pricing we changed our lineup to the (new) 2oz. bullet cosmos, to save money and keep our colors affordable. There was a very sharp uptick in the cost of the 2oz.
