I much prefer Delta Creative Ceramcoat acrylic paint for reverse painting blanks. It acrylic and is not affected by CA and is considerably cheaper. Should be available at any craft store for around $2 per bottle in hundreds of colors. It is also thicker so it covers better.
 
Thanks for that link. I also use the ceramcoat for reverse painting, I found a bunch on clearance at hobby lobby not too long ago. It does cover better than testers. The obvious answers for color choices are black and white, but you can also use your primary colors, silver, & gold. You can always mix your primarys to cover the array of colors in a blank.

I don`t know if this is the correct place for this but is the Testers paint in the tiny bottles a good paint to use for back painting blanks?

I'd use Testors if all of the paint stores were closed and berries were out of season and I couldn't make my own paint. Every "paint" failure I've had was directly attributed to Testors.

Thank you, Curtis! Cerambote is my "goto" paint...followed by cheap,spray acrylic.

I just bought the Delta Ceramcote paint for $1.24 per bottle "on sale" at Michael's, then used the 40% off one item coupon.

Andy and Justin the rack holds eight across and ten down on each side I think we got it a Hobby Lobby about 3 years ago IIRC it was about $40.
Andy the Queen said why make one when she could spend her mates hard earned cash to buy one, you know how royalty is.

I'll repeat my statement, in case it was mis-understood! I'll buy at "price point", but I'll still bow to the Queen, and "Gator Dundenio". I'm Southern, that's just the way we roll:biggrin:

You are an ill man ... bragging like that and making all of us jealous over your very good fortune. I'm going to tell Dee what a naughty boy you are being and she might just put a stop to your good fortunes :wink:

Very nice set up Roy. Might just have to look into some of this :rolleyes:

Tim:
Most of the time, in my life's experience, reading the small print is crucial.

Most of the time, bowing to royality and acknowledging the King and Queen is a matter of protocal. In our case, I want advice from the Queen! Usually, I want advice from the King.

She keeps that "spend thrift" King in check! The Queen likely got a price less than the 200 QTY price than you suggested (but none of us would know that that..and that is why she is the Queen). If you really need the better price, I' d bet my life that "they" can do better.

I dwell on every word from them and I cherish every word.... I like the King,BUT, I ALWAYS want to know "what the Queen thinks".

These two are battle-tested, rock-hardened, road warrors! They have "been everywhere, except the electic chair, and seen everthing, 'cept the wind".

Most of the time, I listen to Roy. On the rare occasion that (I/We) disagree, I ALWAYS want DEE's (capitaliztion approiate) opinion.too!

The stakes REALLY change when your next meal depends on the result of your last efforts! The game changes with 1 "up"...or 200 "up".

Respectfully submitted.

Just got done putting a few 2oz paints in the cart and went to checkout.
Shipping is a flat $8.00ish. SO I will just go to hobby Lobby and HOPE they have it there.

Every Hobby Lobby I have been in has had a large assortment of Ceramcoat. They also have a couple of other brands of acrylic paints in the same section and they work well too. I believe Folk Art is one of the other brands. I use both.
