I absolutely loath white paint...

I decided that since I was painting the shield on the Exia, I might as well paint the rest of the white pieces too - should be easy, right, they're already white so I won't need to paint them over and over to make sure the plastic color doesn't shine through like on the shield.

Except that the damned paint didn't come out white, it came out *cream*. AAAAARGH.

Thankfully, I know how to painlessly strip this brand of paint off so I can start over, but I'm still pretty angry. Does anyone know a brand of enamel paint where the white stays white? Acrylics and I don't mix well, since I brush paint (acrylics tend to go wax on, wax off when you brush paint them), and the only brand of white spray I really trust comes out too grainy (Citadel Skull White).

Also, still looking for the CB decals in 1/144, especially for OO Raiser and the S1 suits. (edit: NVM, the official set is available at www.1999.co.jp, though the third party ones from Samueldecal.com were much nicer, if also a lot pricier)

Cheers,

SP
