Testing Gaia Silver Paints - 9 Different Silvers Tested

[@Ryotsu2112]

The most generous and informative airbrush creator on KZbin. Take note, creators. Do it like this guy. Straight to the point, no long winded rambling, shows instead of tells. Be like this guy!

[@Worldofwhatever]

after 30 or more years I finally got back into building model kits by watching your videos. Amazing how much I forgot and how much I never knew.

[@chaley2935]

If you ever have a dust problem with that try misting the inside with some water.

[@chuckwensits-jb5bw]

I’ve been building models most of my life but now have retired and am trying to catch up on the many new options for every phase. I grew up with a Paasche H airbrush and have recently purchased a Gaahleri air brush because of the testing on your channel. One thing I lack is a paint booth. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. It’s the best of the best

[@ricksattler682]

Same here, including airbrushing. Really enjoying the vids here

[@jwaltery1]

I can't believe you have maintained your enthusiasm through all these 400+ videos. More power to you, B. Rex!

[@jasoncombs3232]

The small orange bottle of thinner is used to make the paint scratch resistant. That's why it's small and expensive. Spray the paints directly on the plastic. No primer needed. That thinner creates a strong scratch resistant bond.

[@mollygrubber]

I'm 57, just started modelling and your channel has helped me A LOT, thank you sir. I just made a cardboard spray booth. I definitely need an upgrade LOL.

[@phantomzero906]

Hello! Can’t believe I’ve been watching your content for so long and haven’t subscribed yet (I thought I did). Thank you for all the paint tests, they’ve been monumental in helping me choose which paint to pick all while saving me money. Would love to win that spray booth so I can stop using my good ol cardboard barrier.

[@cadmanchannel]

I enjoy your style! Unlike so many others, it's "Welcome to the bench!" and not "Welcome to my face!" for the rest of the video. You are the greatest!

[@JoshuaParnell]

As a stat nerd, I really appreciate all the testing and comparisons that you do. I'm just getting started, so you've helped me save quite a bit of money just in helping me understand what I do and don't need in the short term. Thanks for all you do!

[@ibidesign]

Another great video. I don't need the booth: just wanted to show my appreciation (I believe the number of comments a KZbinr received per video also helps boost their algorithm and search results, etc.). You're the best, Robert!

[@A1Gal7]

As a newb, it can be stressful trying to pick the right shades and brands. I'm not always concerned about authenticity, but I still hem and haw in the paint aisle WAY too long!

[@Imbadatmodelkits]

As someone that’s just getting into painting, a water fall spray booth would be amazing!!

[@Jcnichol02]

New to airbrushing and learning a lot from your videos, I hope you hit the 100k mark soon!

[@toonami99]

great review, good luck to everyone regarding the spray booth.

[@PopArow4702]

Woot got my swallowtail airbrush in today it is so much better than my first one ❤

[@blodhemn413]

Great test, as always Those upcoming colors look fantastic.

[@TwizleShinysword]

Glad these videos came. Was buying gaia paints and was fortunate enough to get the gold I wanted but wasn't sure which silver looked like what.

[@tabletopteek]

Your channel has been super informative, and maybe a little expensive 😂 Keep up the amazing work, you’re a great resource for the hobby!

[@garypeterson1920]

That would be a great upgrade, I currently use a plastic storage tote to try to contain the over spray.

[@TrooperSC]

I’ve really come to enjoy your channel and look forward to new episodes, even though most of what you do has no relevance to what I model. Thank you.

[@rcpilot5045]

My nephew and I love your videos. I am 60 yo and have been building since I was 7. Just started airbrushing this year. Never used a paint booth yet. I still learn from your videos, keep up the awesome work.

[@hectorsanchez7755]

I really enjoyed this video….started painting candy colors on models…wow what a difference

[@reylen3883]

Thank you for making this type of videos. I didnt know which silver to get, but now i know which is one to get. Thank you.

[@alternatecanidate]

I am a relatively new subscriber, love the channel. Recently started gunpla building and really appreciate all the testing you do. Wow a spray booth is an amazing giveaway 🤞

[@AndyMerrillJigsawHC]

Thanks for the run down on the silvers

[@billscarnage]

Your videos have been so helpful. I run your videos in the background as I'm building kits

[@ShibaSano]

I just got into Gundam and model building last month, and I've been obsessively consuming as many videos and tutorials as I can, and you're one of the channels I look to for paints and tool reviews and it's been immensely helpful. I really want to get into airbrushing and painting, but getting everything I need has been slow as a broke college student, so hoping for a chance at the waterfall spray booth! Also. since we're on the topic of Gaia paints, would you be able to do a video on all their surfacers? With 14 different surfacing colors between their Evo and Nazca lineup it would be really informative to see what the differences are and what colors would go best with them. Thanks for all your hard work, especially with these Gaia paint comparisons, since it's been confusing looking at all the different colors and shades that different brands provide. Much love.

[@ericlawrence1488]

The more I watch, the more I shop for great products versus buying and being out that for a shoddy product. Keep up the great reviews!! God bless!

[@TheSkippyboy]

Awesome video as usual! That spray booth is awesome, would love to not have my my whole apartment smell like chemicals for hours post painting.

[@TheReallyfatfanney]

I discovered you about 3 years ago. The spray booth is the only tool I’m missing. Your testing has been a real help in deciding what to buy.

[@InvokeZero]

I do like the silver primer, but honestly I'm just kind of.... whelmed by Gaia paints overall. People absolutely gush about them, and I have some and while they're good, other lacquers that I have like Dspiae are much easier to get and are pretty similar in quality. I will say though, I do like Gaia's gloss clear quite a bit, it's got a much 'sharper' reflective finish than other clears I have so when I'm going for a really glossy finish, I'll definitely go for Gaia.

[@Vikingman2024]

Thanks Robert!

[@cameronmiller7978]

Grateful for all the giveaways! I’m in the market for a booth right now. I’ve been using a plastic container with a pc fan for years lol. Thanks again for doing these

[@PB4UG02Bed]

This is really nice of you. Im just starting to learn how airbrush my gunpla, ill keep my fingers crossed.

[@michaeltyl7697]

I have an old badger booth from many moons ago. Been contemplating a waterfall booth as an upgrade.

[@KB-gh9ue]

Love all the testing, never realized they are so many different paint manufacturers. Could Definitely use the spraybooth, I have at least 5 cars waiting for paint. Thanks for the opportunity!!

[@WoodysScaleModelGarage]

I’ve been trying so many different paints that you test I’m running out of room lol can’t thank you enough for all you do for us and the hobby 😊

[@Ohmygodiamonfire]

Been able to get into airbrushing in general after being afraid to do so thanks to your videos!

[@chloew925]

Thanks again for an awesome video! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your paints! I love the gold! I got your swallowtail airbrush this week and am looking forward to using it!

[@PopArow4702]

This booth is awesome and catches all the overspray and the fans are extremely good

[@jeffjohnson6763]

Always love the tests, and seeing the multiple uses I can get out of a single color- I’m really excited to see more of your line as well, it’s easy to get behind a product coming from someone that demands quality and affordability.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Hey Jeff, you've been chosen as the winner of waterfall spray booth. Send me an email so I can get your info. I will also mention you as the winner in the next video. Robert

[@InnerNoobRage]

Once again, awesome video! Those copper colors at the end look good, but I'm looking forward to the greens you work on. I read a comment on a separate video asking for a blackened green and that would be a fantastic color to add to the collection.

[@teddyjones8027]

Fantastic review as always my friend, that fire copper is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing and can't wait for the next video. Hope your wife is getting better and better every day. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@pwnage402]

You’re a legend for how much you do, and doing giveaways like this, and techniques and reviews on things nobody else is doing! You’re one of the only ones making videos about so many paints

[@garretambrosio93]

I want that gunmetal EVO surfacer, just got my Barbatos Rex Swallow Tail. So far, I am loving it. I have almost as many airbrushes as you B Rex. lol

[@ChrisBigWizzardWelch]

Definitely a few in there I like. Those colors you've made look great too. I appreciate the giveaway opportunity! Let's go 100k!

[@FlyingCrow]

Thanks for your videos. My wife purchased a Ghalleri Ace airbrush for me after watching your videos. I love it!

[@jackcanada6082]

Appreciate all the work you put into your videos and the very helpful information. I'm getting back into the hobby and find the information very helpful.

[@ModelCarWorkbench]

Awesome videos. Been a ton of info to help out. I wouldn't know where to even start if it hadn't been for your reviews!

[@charlesdabb1821]

I'm a disabled 61 year old who recently got back into the hobby. I stumbled upon this channel and enjoy it very much. This spray booth would be much nicer than the current Wagner paint tent that I'm currently using.

[@swiguy_]

Still the best content on the web can be found in one place!

[@40300paul]

Always great content Robert. Thanks for all the info! Have a great day!

[@ksrt4902]

Thank you for testing these! It's difficult finding color swatches for gaia, let alone comparing flat to gloss primers under good lighting. Well done, as always

[@ChefAttack]

I just got your airbrush for my first one and have some paints ordered with help from your videos. I’m really looking forward to painting my first kit.

[@Cybergig13]

I love Gaias silver and gold paints they are great. That water booth is nice as well!

[@lylebriggs923]

Thank you Robert for the cool little informational video an thanks for the time you invest for us in your video's I don't need a paint booth i have one 👌👍🏻

[@johnferagne3270]

I just started my airbrushing experience because of your channel. Let me say I am really enjoying it and it was your channel that took all the mystery out of the airbrushing. I am learning something new every time I use my airbrush. I purchased your swallow tail airbrush and am really enjoying it. My son is into RC cars and asked me to paint his polycarbonate truck body. Well with a lot of KZbin research and with the swallow tail , it came out pretty good and my son said “it came out much better than I would have ever expected it to” So thank you for your channel and giving me the confidence to start airbrushing and enhancing my modeling hobby.

[@bubba6richards729]

Water spray booth!! Count me in. My spare room has overspray everywhere🤣😎. Thanks for the great reviews Robert 🥳

[@davidrupp9089]

Always enjoy watching your videos! I recently put together a water/filter bucket and hooked it up to my spray booth! I only had to buy the Lowes bucket, l already had everything else. Thanks for sharing your tips and your new product reviews!!

[@williamsimon782]

My brother is starting to get into airbrushing and I recommended that he watch your videos. He said he is learning a lot and started his adventure building a Willy with the two 50 caliber. It would be a nice spray booth for him. Thank you for helping us modelers

[@speedydk7840]

Another awesome video. Now I just need that spray booth to deal with the fumes from all these paints you're getting me to try out! 😎

[@frankrowland63]

That paint booth sure would make a great addition to my little shop

[@bigchef2112]

Very cool. Like the star silver and the one that has the blue hue to it. Another nice review. My 4 E’s is still running strong!👍👍

[@70TonShay]

Great channel. That spray booth would help me keep the smell down in the house. And help keep my wife getting a headache. Most of my painting is done outside or in the garage.

[@bobrivett7645]

Hello Robert. Great colors and video. I already a Pace spray booth, so please pick someone else. Thank you

[@FTWBIFY6667]

That’s was a great review on the silvers! Thank you brings a little light to what one to buy! Can always come back for a reference! Keep the reviews coming 🥳 me personally I love a smooth silver! Every one makes a metallic silver but to find a pure silver is hard! Just found a winner 🥇 and hopefully get the spray booth 😉 and WOW on the new colors !!!!!!!!

[@scottgreene5566]

Hey Robert! I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. I have been following you know for about a year and love your content. I just recently got back in to model building after 40 plus years thanks to you! I never win anything but thought I'd give this a chance. I am literally building a home made booth as we speak...I wanted a waterfall one but there are no KZbin videos on how to make one of those. Anyways, even if I don't win the booth...I still win with your channel!

[@nickbaker1278]

I watch your videos often, many I have saved and watch multiple times. Your videos demonstrate the water curtain spray booth to work very well!! Please count me in for the spray booth. I focus on weathering and painting farm toys

[@davelogeman]

Thanks for all the great reviews. Keep'em coming!

[@Noble052]

Love the content! Thank you for getting me into miniature painting!!!

[@dwaynecudd5516]

The veidos you put out have saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you for all you do for the hobby world.

Getting close to dipping my toes into customs and painting. So I'm super glad to find your channel and learn all I can. Thank you for your content 😎

Absolutely awesome! Would love the spray booth. Thanks for all your information Sir.

[@joemacafee7655]

Another great video as usual, Robert. Love what you're doing for the hobby. I'm also loving your Gaahleri swallowtail airbrush. It's replaced my Grex Tritium and I've been so impressed with Gaahleri I picked up the Mobius airbrushes and will be using them for the first time this weekend.

[@jessicabevis8572]

My husband just got into Gunpla, he and I watch your videos all the time! Thank you for all the good info you share. Keep up the good work!!

[@Beachwv]

Just back into modeling at 70. I enjoy your tests and reviews.

[@TD-ni9vk]

I got hooked on Gaia back when you tested their prism pastels. They definitely make some nice paints.

[@mrandursun]

Been building gunpla and other models since I was a kid, I'm almost 30 years old now, and I catch myself sometimes thinking I know everything there is to know about models, but every once in a while i find myself learning some really cool things from watching you! Keep up the great work 👍

[@Fritzie73]

❤❤WOW Robert this is so awesome of you! I didn't realize it's Your purchase, you are a wonderful guy. I have your airgun and I'm so impressed it fits my hand perfectly! I love that company and purchased one of the air compressors bundle you can't beat that price! So this is what I want because I live in an apartment I think it will be best for smell and cleaning. Congrats to who ever is the winner!

[@gojyo]

Love your paint review videos. It's hard to find any that go into as much detail.

[@JohnBrown-fs4ug]

Nice spray booth. Been using a home made one that doesn’t vent out, so I stick with water based paints. The Amsterdam acrylic ink in Silver is pretty good IMO. Thanks again for all you do! Love the reviews!!

[@benhietbrink5799]

Your videos are fantastic. Really informative and helpful. That waterfall spray booth is amazing piece of kit and would be a great addition to any modeller’s arsenal.

[@Avalanche523]

Awesome video on Gaia silver paints, Star Bright used as a base works great.

[@sgtatarms4780]

Modeling just keeps you busy sharing your knowledge. I greatly appreciate it as it saves me money and time because you already did the experiments and the research. Thank you for that. Prior to finding your channel, I collected a lot of resources for the hobby that I found out that I did not need. Not many people can take their hobby and share it with others with the enthusiasm you have done. Thanks again for the great job.

[@garethmurphy8235]

Hey Robert.. I was absolutely floored when you said you were approaching a 100K !! I have been around since the earliest of days (a few zeroes ago), and I wanna say thank you on behalf of our entire community for all the amazing content you have put out there.. Whenever I have a question about a paint or a tool, the first channel I turn to is yours.... Recently, I have been making daily excuses to myself about why I can't buy a "Swallowtail".... -Annoying inner monologue..... "then I need a compressor"..."but wait.. Tamiya cans are so expensive anyway.... so I might as well..." "No !!!!... then I'll need a booth too"..lol.. Up until now I have resisted but with the incredibly generous chance at a free booth, .. who k nows? The stuff of dreams !! Big supporter here in New England with you (Southern Maine)... Looking forward to the 100k !!

[@nicholaskindred929]

Incredible !!! , Did you see the video on the typhoon shakers the gentelmen refurbish "s ??

Robert, I really enjoy your channel, I have picked up some valuable information watching your channel. Keep up the great job.

Turning the big 5 O next week and man that would be one hell of a gift. Been working on model cars since i was 6 or 7. I got out then when i get s real hot rod. Got diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and get back into modeling because of your videos.

[@glowworm3345]

Nice comparison again. Shine silver is my favorite 👍 Would love a spray booth so my mom would finally let me airbrush inside lol!

[@plamomancer]

Another excellent video! These tests are such an invaluable resource. Thank you Robert.

[@RobRobRob123]

The shine silver was amazing, near chrome brilliance😮. The best of the bunch IMO. The star bright silver was definately a close second. Gaia never seems to miss on these colors. Awesome stuff my friend. Have a great weekend yall✌🏽

I’ve learned a lot from watching your channel. I use mostly water based acrylics and your videos have help me get started with them. Thanks.

I wanted to say thanks for your the time you put in with your channel. I appreciate you. My wife passed away 6 uears ago and I took up 3d printing and airbrushing. my booth recently died. I also wanted to tell you and your wife to hang in there. I know how difficult and stressful health issues can be. I hope your wife is doing better.

This is so cool! I recently bought some gaia paints. Spraybooth is due for an upgrade though. Huge of fan of the channel! Keep doing what you do.
