- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023My family loves crafting during the holidays, this paint has been great for that. We get variety packs but I wanted extra paint on certain colors so I got this. There is a good amount of it. We will likely order this again. The color is great and the paint is decently thick. The amount for the price is what made me get this. I have no regrets.

Came packaged as shown.
I love this brand as they are very consistent with color. I've been buying from them for 20 years and I can still mix the old bottles with the new without any sign of change.
They are moderately thick, goes on smoothly, and this is a large bottle. I have never had issues with the coverage. And the texture is very smooth.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023I have made a few homemade Xmas gifts using this brand and another one that's similar I picked up locally at Walmart. I painted on wood that was very rough, but a coat of good spray paint on first. Only had to do one coat of this!...the other brand, I had to do 2 or more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Amazing Product!!
I've found that the oil-based paints are too toxic for me (as I age); was happy to find this one; it has NO fumes, whatsoever! It is easy to put on, dries fast, and it covers well! It's a gel-like paint, which means it won't "run".
Use this paint wherever you can, instead of the oil-based ones! Love it!!
