Has anyone tried Colorshot paints? I was at my local Walmart recently and noticed Walmart seems to be phasing out Rustoleum and Krylon in favor of Colorshots. I am curious if these are good for painting rockets.
 
Look at the price, if they are priced like the Home_ whatever brand they are mostly solvent and little pigment.

Came across Colorshot the other day in a craft store, next to the Montana Gold paints I was there to buy. Picked up a gloss “Stiletto Red” knowing I needed a gloss red soon. Here’s a plastic Estes nose cone that was sanded properly, primed with my usual Duplicolor filler primer, and painted with a couple of coats of the Colorshot. Finishing is not exactly my strong suit, but I think it came out well. And I didn’t use an excessive amount of paint to do it. I personally will try it again if I see it in the right color at a decent price.
