I agree with the concept... there is always one more color we need...

Here’s the funny thing.... I’d say about 90% of those Testors enamel paints (the ones with blue dot labels); both Model Master and square bottles are the original bottles of mine going back to the 1990s and still in good condition. I had a couple bottles gone bad or dried up beyond use that I had to replenish those colors.

Nice! I was marking my tops for a bit -but I now have the stadium storage (still have some drawers though).
I'm buying modelmaster when I see it. Some of the really nice stuff like their chrome sliver, because yes you can't have enough paints
I'm slowing converting over to lacquer and acrylic. But still have quite a bit of MM some with $1.49 on the price tag. Also my Floquil stash is slowly being used
I hear ya, TJ. I wish Pollyscale and Floquil are still around. I managed to grab a few Pollyscale paints at the last LHS in my area a few years ago. Hesince now retired and closed. No more LHS around here. Sad really...
There is one near my sis-in-law's I've been wanting to go back to. Performance Hobbies in the village of Webster in the Rochester area. Wonderful shop. They even have Alclad lacquers too.

When I was a school kid, there were two types of paint I could get, Testors and Pactra. Later on I found the Pactra international line. Still later Humbrol, but I had no idea of how to properly use such a paint. Then along came Polly S and Model Master. Next I was introduced to Tamiya. A few years later and more brands of paints came into my world: Gunze and Floquil, Aeromaster and Polly Scale, Xtracolor and Revell. I’ve found a few of other short run or limited brands her and there: AEF, Roco, ProModeler, Color of Eagles, Badger... new companies like AK, Vallejo, and Mission Models have come into my possession. Other new brands such as True North and TruColor beckon from their racks, but I have yet to add yet another line of paints to my line up...
