"Best White Paint?" Topic

Which white paint do you find to work best?

(Not including primer or spray paint)

P3. The stuff is amazing. One coat over black. It's a very bright white as well.

Cel Vinyl, one coat over black and you get a lot more for the money.

I use titanium white artist acrylics. Mainly because titanium white will not yellow over time…

I really like Vallejo for it's consistency!

I am very happy with the Foundry white triad.

Hi Bill,

Here is my 2pence worth…….

I prefer Vallejo paints Skull White (1), but have recently come across a second Vallejo white called Dead White (72001) which I find covers better. I came across it by accident but will now try to use Dead White rather than Skull White in future.

I also use tube acrylic White – Reeves Acrylic Titanium White and very recently Liquitex tube acrylic Titanium White, both of these come out of the tubes a little thick and so I dilute them with either GW Skull White or Vallejo Skull White rather than use water of acrylic medium.

If you want a good strong and pure white I would suggest that you undercoat the white areas with pale Grey – there are many available to choose from.

I hope that this helps.

Skull White by GW works for me. I can't say it is the best. I found it covers well over black so I never had a reason to look elsewhere.

Vallejo 'cos its super smooth. Humbrol acrylic as its hard wearing. I paint on white undercoat so the covering black thing isn't an issue for me.

Vallejo white . I have some apple barrel that I use for base and scut work .

I use either Cel Vinyl or Liquitex Soft Body Artist's Acrylics; both have excellent opacity, are easy to work with, and are far less expensive than hobby paints.

I like the Andrea whites from the white paint set they sell. I'm also considering trying enamel white to see how it does. Haven't used them in decades (i.e. before I started priming my figures in black or grey).
