Congrats on the new line, Robert! Best of luck, I hope it is a great success! Thanks so much for all you've done and all the great tools and materials you highlight for all of us. Since starting to follow your channel I've moved from my Grex airbrushes to your swallowtail as well as the Mobius brushes (bought a regular set and then the special edition as well). They've all performed spectacularly and are so much easier to both quick and deep clean than any airbrush I've used. I also recently replace my LabGenius vortex mixer with a Typhoon Titan mixer. Ran into a couple hiccups in shipping (USPS' fault), and Robert Kennedy was extremely helpful and responsive. When it arrived and I got it up and running, not only was it more powerful than the old mixer, but also quieter...

I'm really impressed at the versatility of those paints. Going from an anodized finish to a gloss metalic finish with a simple coat of varnish is amazing. I know you can technically do that with anything, but not really - not when you think about just how un-gloss the anodized starting coat has to be... and still be metallic. Really fine work, sir!!

Good afternoon my friend. Got to tell you I love your products I even bought two of the swallowtail airbrushes plus the paints. I think you so much for demonstrating everything. I don’t know if it’s through your company I have two Gundam markers for panel lining and when I opened them, they didn’t work so I called the Gundam store and asked him if there was anything special to do to get them to work. They told me no they asked where I bought them and I said I couldn’t quite remember they may have came from Hobby Lobby and the man told me he can’t do nothing about it becausethey came from Hobby Lobby . I guess I understand it but on the other hand no I don’t but anyway keep doing what you’re doing. I enjoy your videos.

Awesome paints, and excited about international shipping, living in Europe! If you ship internationally, it would be great if they could add a generic lacquer thinner to the shop, the ones used to clean the airbrush, since I cannot find it in hardware stores over the pond here. We have acetone, but nothing like lacquer thinner to clean the airbrush. It would be awesome to have it in the shop as well

Tried them out today and had a lot of issues with the paint orange peeling/cracking when drying, particularly around panel lines and crevices. Seems like you really need to do 4+ really light coats before doing the heavier final coat as it consistently dried badly otherwise when i tried to get away with 1-2. Definitely not the easiest paint to use but the colors are very nice

Hello Barbatos, thanx for the great work you have been doing and it helps a lot that I truly admire and appreciate. I need to paint my car chrome especially the front grill and the back emblems and want to paint them in reflective gold which is shiny; Based on your pragmatic experience, which spray paint or color do you suggest out of krylon short cuts, Montana gold, duplicate-color, revell, rust-oleum or inspire gold ??? I am asking for the best one that will give me mirror kind of reflective 24k gold or similar; please advise. Thanks
