Reply To: Contrast Paints, is everyone really using them and are they actually quicker?

of course ‘everyone’ is going to ‘copy’ GW’s success with ‘contrast’ by doing their own version.

Scale75’s “Instant” paints were a bit different, but they shared the same idea of using just one paint to do both highlight and shadow in one as opposed to using several techniques and different paints.

It may not be a ‘new idea’, but it sure as heck is better marketed and presented.

I think the only actual negative for Contrast-style paints is that they are focused on the fantastic/futuristic where bright colours are the default. That may also be part of the reason why not everyone is having good results with them, because their style or expected result doesn’t suit the paint.
