Reply To: Thoughts on Citadel Contrast Paint

@mkultra99 would be just like normal airbrush paint, especially something like tamiya clear shades or badger ghost tints, thats basically all it is, the contrast “technique” is exactly the same in concept as preshading with an airbrush, i.e. you rely on the translucence of the paint to let the let the light undercoat through (instead of the shadow colour with a preshade), thus creating a lighter shade.  All that differs compared to normal airbrush paint is that it has a flow aid of some sort to make it pool and run off the high points.

That said with it being just like airbrush paint im sure that this will be more widely stocked than the citadel air range, so bit of a bonus in terms or ease of picking up shades, just wish this was the paint they did citadel dropper bottles with….
