Good Priced Paint
« on: November 02, 2009, 02:44:01 PM »

I am very new to this and I have bought a snazaroo pallette with like 18 quarter sized paints with the large black and white colors. I want to eventually have the large size in all the colors. Where can I get them for the best price? I have no metallic colors yet and I am wondering the same thing for those as well as good brands.

I have dozens of questions so I will try searching for answers before asking!

the cheapest price i've found among the sellers of diamond fx paints online is jestpaint.com, i also like that shipping is fast...silly farm has tons of choices though, but the prices are higher it seems, and shipping is not as fast as jestpaint....

i don't have metallic colors either...i want to invest in them one day...the last investment i made was a starter palette of the kryolan interferenz line...i love the strauss wine color...silly farm sells it for $45 plus shipping and handling...i bought mine directly from the kryolan store in san francisco...

I've found the cheapest way to buy paint is from Snazzies (on ebay).  They are in the U.K., but NOT Snazaroo.com (the mother company).    Even with shipping they are cheaper than buying here in the U.S. and the paint is a LOT fresher. 18ml are about $5 or so, depending on the exchange rate.  If you order a bunch, it's obviously cheaper because of the shipping.  They are a good company.

So is the Diamond FX good for brushwork as well as sponging? This is what I was looking at:

DFX is very good for brushwork...better than it is for blending.  It is like Wolfe in that it dries faster and is difficult to blend than others.  For linework it is the best you can get though...will show over any color (even white over black Smiley.

If you need new stuff, I recommend buying them right here -
from funfacepaint.com

Sherry is nice enough to put together this Forum for us,
and her prices are reasonable.
