I used and continue to use Splash paints. Another good one is Custom Paints Inc. both have airbrush ready paints.

Newbie at this. Is there some place in the GTA to get the Splash or Custom paints? I’m looking for the 61k colour. Thanks for any advice.

I know splash paints have 2 distributors in canada now. Their stock levels is one thing I haven't checked yet.

https://www.splash-paints.com/dealers

Edit: one of them is in Ottawa and Kanata, the other is in Whitby

Here is MNPIII by splash paints, without clear. I used their 2K primer so it's smooth and durable

And here's their 2K clear I used on some Vossen wheels. Looks wet but it's fully cured

Nice paint finish, actually it's a nice colour.

I didn't really look into it, but they're from the same parent company, right? So is Zero just their less quality paint, even though they're both priced about the same?

Edit: maybe not, tried looking it up, and maybe it's just some vendors just said "Zero/Splash" which is what led me to think they were the same company, or branches of a parent company, like Testors and Model Masters.

LOL I always see these beautiful neat and tidy workspace pics in the magazines and yell "BULLSHIT"

Mine literally right this moment.

My work station is either in the garage on the floor, the kitchen counter on the barstool side, or the dining table.

My sad attempt on a DIY roll cage. Don't judge. Lol

My shop isn't much better (back room of basement) where I'm building my 1:1 scale plane.
