I just painted a kit and it was amazing, no primer needed, scratch resistant and amazing colors.

(Review updated after 6 months of use) If you're just starting out and learning to airbrush or if you simply don't want to trial lots of different kinds of paint looking for the normal Gundam Red/Blue/Yellow, this is a great option. All colors come pre-thinned for easy airbrush use, clean up fairly well with a lacquer thinner (I use Mr. Hobby thinner and it does the trick) and provide a very good finish. These paints fall short in two areas: consistency in thinning and the finished color. First, the paints can be anywhere from too thick to far too thin. In my case they were not thinned enough and required more thinner to reach a consistency where they could be applied slowly and evenly without cranking up the pressure. Some colors are the total opposite, and are so thin they just run right off the part. I prefer to keep a consistent pressure across every paint, where these require changing the pressure with each change in color to match whatever the consistency is. Don't let images of the "settled" paint fool you into thinking they're overly-thinned, that's what happens to all pre-thinned paints, these are usually not thinned enough! The other issue is in the color quality itself: These are typically duller and less vibrant than more established brands, and because of that I've started moving away from the GPaint line as I run out of a color. It does cost more and I have to go through the process of thinning and bottling each one, but the end result is typically worth the extra effort. I'd recommend these for anybody who is getting started with airbrushing and isn't too worried about their paint specifics but is learning the various aspects of airbrushing. Once you've got a handle on it though, there are much better options available.

TLDR: Good quality paint for beginners and great for custom color mixing, but too thin and far too expensive just to learn on. Bought this as an absolute beginner because of how seemingly beginner friendly it’s advertised to be. I find that the paint is pre-thinned far too much (about 80/20 I included a picture of an unopened bottle when settled) which leads to needing to use an excessive amount of product to achieve even coverage. Along with the starter set, I bought a $13 bottle of GSI leveling thinner as well as two $3 pods of mr color in aluminum and brass. Hand thinning those to about 55/45 they go on much more evenly and in far fewer coats. The yellow included in this set is almost unusable. It takes 6+ coats to achieve coverage even over light primer. It’s so thin that the solvent in a second coat can actually wash away the pigment from previous coats. They advertise as great for brush painting but there’s absolutely no way. It takes about 20 coats with a brush as the paint is like a thin wash more than a base color. I will say the fact that they are all thinned to an even consistency and in dropper bottles makes mixing colors a BREEZE and was absolutely the best part of the experience. However: $13 of GSI leveling thinner plus 8 equivalent pods of Mr. color at $3 a piece and $5 of dropper bottles from Amazon and you have a better experience for half the price. The end result is very good and I’m pleased with the ultimate outcome, but the process has taken longer than it should have and cost far too much for what it is.
