How are these? Cover well? What's been your experience? |

Great for scenery Cheap enough for you to buy some to try them out You are not going to be able to dilute them like a vallejo (etc.) to create glazes and washes and layers John |

I use them all the time for terrain and minis. You may have to thin some and others may require multiple coats. But I don't have any issues them for years. |

They are thin. I use them for basing and doing terrain, since they are so inexpensive. |

Never used the "Smart Paints" brand but I really like the Delta Ceramcoat brand craft paint. Better pigmentation and application than most other craft paints and almost as nice as some miniature paints. It's only a dime or two more than the other brands, so I don't bother anymore with other craft paints unless it's for a certain shade I can't find in Delta. |

Have to agree… I always go with Ceramcoat if I can because generally speaking the quality is a little better. I don't care for most of the craft paints for metallic though. |

As you may know, Michael's no longer carries the Delta Ceramcoat range (those are my preferred craft brand too). I don't know about JoAnns. |
| Dervel | 23 Sep 2014 5:07 a.m. PST |
Yes… Very sad, but JoAnns and Hobby Lobby do carry them. |

Oh, I didn't realize. Kind of annoying. Now I can't ask my wife to pick up paint for me when she's out at the mall where she and her friend often go.
I hadn't been to Michaels in a while, but I can confirm what Dervel says about JoAnnes and Hobby Lobby still having them. If you've got one of those around, it's definitely worth the trip. |

Walmart carries Ceramcoat, along with other makers, although the selection is not as extensive as JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. I go there when I need one of the basic colors I use most since the other two stores are over 20 miles away. |
