Quoted from leckmeck:I fought with craft acrylic gold/yellow ten years ago on my first project. I think I shot 60 coats to build enough opacity to obscure a bunch of damage on a 3 Jokers playfield. Of course, that made the gold area on the playfield higher than the surrounding areas, so I had to level things with clearcoat. It was the worst ordeal.
I tried Liquitex instead of Americana for this project. Same feeble pigmentation struggle! Vid’s probably right. I should look into Createx. Mixing to match will be more of a challenge (and more expensive) but will probably be worth it in the end.
It's not always the brand of paint when it comes to pigment loads... surprised you had issues with Liquitex, as that's right up there with Createx for quality. Yellow and yellowish colors, no matter what the brand, have a tough time with coverage in my experience. I'm a big Createx guy... switched from Americana and all those other 99c brands a long time ago... some of the colors are decent, but why screw around?
