Do you get your oil changed your car dealership? NO.
-->Well, actually... YES They have an integrated garage and doing all the service a normal garage would do... as long as you've bought your car there. A customer-service it is, but still you've to pay for it.

I painted with GW-Colors first... for about 8 years or so. But after quite some time without a brush in my hand I got to it with a complete new set and decided to buy Vallejos and start all over with them.
I'm more than satisfied with the colours, IMO they're very good.

The thing to remember with the "craft" paints is that it's better to buy the primaries, secondaries and some brown colors and then a huge bottle of white. The craft paints are so cheap because probably 75% of their 300 colors are simply tints of one of the big 6. White paint is cheap so they can make 30 different tints of green and sell them for a song.
IMO the best investment are 2 big bottles of black and white, the 6 main colors, and as many browns and metallics as you feel necessary.
After that, if you still can't mix a certain color that you need there is nothing wrong with buying an overpriced pot of crappy paint that will dry out in 6 months.
I guess if you are dead set that modeling paint is somehow a secret formula, mixed just for 3-D painting and requires exotic ingredients that drive the price up...then there are worse things you could be buying than Vallejo...like Games Crapshop.
I do use quite a few craft paints. I'll never buy a GW black or white again, and I do have a few other colours. But I still like having some Vallejo stuff around.
ok guess the matise in me needs t reply to this again. On a decent painting day I mix my colurs from scratch. to be honest I could use probably about 12 GW primary clours and create 1000 diffrent colours. But still find nice new blends from standard range. Always MIX your paints and unique styles will be yours
Paints aren't superb but there is a pretty good range (though some tints and shades seem to have very little difference), adequate quality (maybe just a little bit desaturated and liquid), but for 44 cents...WHO CARES!!

Yes I do. As stated above I bought my car there and I don't pay for it. It's free or else I would do it myself.
I used to buy the GW paints untill my girlfriend(being an artist) pointed out where I could get the same quality paint for half the cost. The same place I buy my brushes and primer but in another isle.
Well getting it for free under warranty isn't the same and doesn't debunk my argument at all.
Most dealers charge 2X the normal price for a simple operation that even my mom can do on her own.
