"Testor's Craft Paint set, 36 colors, for $29.99..." Topic

Menards, a DIY store in the upper mid-western States for the USA, is selling a block of 36 different colors of Testor's Craft Acrylic Paints, for $29.99 USD + tax. That works out to be $0.83 USD + tax, per bottle. Really nice variety of colors in the set. Thought I'd share, as this is the first time I've seen these paints, or anything like them, at Menards. The bottles are 2 oz. each! Apparently, Rustoleum has purchased Testor's, as their name is prominently featured on the package. Cheers!

What part of the store was this in?

On an end cap, as I was walking towards the painting area. It was at the junction between flooring, and paint, right on the aisle.

I have not opened any yet, but Testor's paint has traditionally been decent quality. For this price, they should be equal to, or better than, traditional craft paints. Cheers!

I tried them a couple years ago, and I was not impressed. I returned the ones that I had not used. The coverage was not good even over a white primer base.

Here's to hoping they are at least equal to craft paint, for quality.

They are matte, by the way. I forgot to share that, before. Cheers!

I've never had an issue with coverage, just with keeping them viable over time. Some of the specialty colors only rarely get used and I'm always needing to thin them.

Used them, tonight, to apply some paint to some Grenadier plastic Dwarf figures, which have been in my paint queue for 25+ years. They seemed to behave very much like typical craft paints: same thickness, same coverage, same consistency -- same bottle type, too. Hoping they seal as well as the Folk Art and Ceramcoat bottles do.

I will say that using a jigsaw to mix them works superbly. I will always be using my jigsaw at my painting bench to mix my paints. Cheers!
