Has anyone used Palmer Prism Acrylic brand craft paint for airbrushing and or brush painting? If so what were the results?

Well, I've used Apple Barrel and Delta Ceramcoat for painting minis. Don't know how they compare to Palmer Prism though. In any case, I wouldn't use them on models, except maybe for the figures, and small cockpit detailing and such.
I speak of the pompatous of plastic.

Well, I tested the paint on a small piece of scrap unprimed styrene and although I was able to scratch it off with my fingernail it stuck pretty good and did not flake. I also painted another small unprimed piece with polly scale and acryl. I was also able to scratch that paint off with my fingernail.

The palmer paint seems to have the same texture as the other acrlycs and brushes on thin with no brush marks.
Well I guess I'll take the chalenge and test it on some primed plastic.

If it works, well then I don't mind spending the .99 for a bottle.
