japenny_902 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I bought some of the MSP triads a couple of years ago, and didn't use some of them until now, except when I first got them to play with them for a day or two. Now some of them when thinned down to a layer consistancy they are extremely grainy on the surface of my mini. Like little tiny polkadots. I shook the paint very well and even stirred it with a toothpick to get the gunk from under the dropper mixed back in, and still it doesn't seem to help. Mabey I should mix them again.... I dunno I love the paint, and would hate to think that I need to buy a bunch all over again, but if that is all I can do then I guess I will have to Is there anything I can try? Some help from the pros would be greatly appreciated. Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutebutpsycho Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Some of the first batches had a few colors that were funky. If you look at the pinned posts at the top of this section, there is one in which Anne states which colors suffered from these issues. Check to see if your problem colors are listed there, if they are-Reaper will help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHorde Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 And sometimes early releases were sort of in a 'beta' mode -- you can tell if you have one by the label. If it's taped on, rather than nicely wrapped all the way around the bottle, it's probably an early formula. Again, refer to the thread CBP noted above for details and procedures. $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japenny_902 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I did investigate the list of bad paints in the pinned section, but these colors aren't on that. I guess my question should really be about age. Is there a time that MSPs are good on the shelf? Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User Vaitalla Posted February 5, 2008 Reaper User Share Posted February 5, 2008 In my experience, MSP's don't yet have a set shelf life. I have colors from the original release that are still good. On the other hand, we have had problems with colors mixed in one base going clumpy/grainy. These issues have now been fixed. If you wouldn't mind, which paints have the problem? Can you give me a list? Thanks, --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
