Paint Issue

[Electric Coach]

I have paint from Model Masters. One of the colors that I have in that brand is called Druid Blue. This type of blue appears differently when I apply it to Haiti Repro and Reginald Rutledge figures.

Initially the paint is the color of the Giants blue jersey. When I apply it to Reggie’s figures, it dries as it appeared in the bottle before I applied it. When I apply it to a Haiti style of figure, the paint appears to be darker when it dries.

I believe the differences in the texture of plastic between the styles of figures are the cause of the paint appearing darker on one than on the other.

As a result, I switched to my Liquitex brand of paint. Its blue is called Ultramarine Blue.

I thought this might be a good thread for anyone out there who may have experienced a similar issue.
