@support may I ask why my two bottles of aluminum look so different?

The newer bottle that I bought as a standalone, which is on the left, seems to have a much higher proportion of metallic particles inside it. That is compared to the one on the right which arrived as part of a 12 set of metallics. Additionally, it seems to have a yellow emulsifier compared to the black on the right?

I haven't actually opened the newer bottle to test it yet. I'm just curious, especially with the difference in ratio of metallic particles, why does this happen? Is this normal, or maybe is it a quality control accident?

RG-17 Wing Zero EW. Painted entirely with Kaleido.

I learned a lot. it's not where I want it to be. I'm improving and I'm happy I made this project

Can I layer lacquers or enamels over Kaleido paints?

Also, would I want to use Kaleido varnish before layering such things?

(if you guys don’t know, that’s fine too. I do plan on testing things on spoons also)

Thank you guys so much for responding to my previous post about mirror chrome by the way! I’m incredibly happy to find a company with such a caring support team. I don’t think any other modeling company out there has this level of easy direct support

title. I'm looking for a mirror chrome that would work over the gloss black primer from Kaleido. I can't seem to find anything though. I think lacquer and enamels wouldn't work because they would dissolve the acrylic? idk plz help if you know

Tested by hand with near-full bottle of K202 Flame Orange Gloss from Auto Colors set.

got to 675, and I estimate I'd used about 25 drops. So rounded to an even 700.

If we assume a net cost of $3.50 per bottle, then that's 100 drops per 50-cents a.k.a. four drops for one-cent.

I love this stuff. I just picked up the translucent colors, and I'm testing them now, which is what reminded me of my counting adventures. One day I'll get the remaining 43 primaries that I'm missing and then I'll have collected all the infinity stones.

I couldn't find it on the website. Maybe I'm just bad at looking. Anyway, support helped.
