I finally got the opportunity to try out Mig of Jimenez' ATOM Color line. I picked up a color Cold Grey (FS36628) for a project I'm working on - the undersides for the Uruguayan IA-58 Pucara kit. I also ordered their thinner as well.

It is self-leveling, has great coverage power and dries fast.

As you can see, the landing gear doors is painted Cold Grey. It is a very light grey. Camo Grey doesn't even come close in color - too dark. Again, it looks white but it's not even white. Very, very light grey.

My impression? It does say true as advertised, self-leveling, great coverage power, and dries fast. Yes, they can be used for handbrushing.

Thick similar to Testors enamel paint out of the bottle. Using their thinner is a must if using for the first time. I dare not test using lacquer, acrylic or enamel thinners for I don't know how it will react. I hope one day to experiment using other thinners.

Their thinner is very stinky, similar to Mr. Color's Surfacer primer. A respirator/mask is recommended.

As I said, this is my first time using Mig of Jimenez's line of paint. Would I acquire more colors of this line of paint? Absolutely! They have Federal Standard colors no one else has.
