The Japanese company GSI Creos, under its
Mr. Hobby brand, has launched a new product
in the field of lacquer paints, which bears the
trade name Mr. Color GGX. Let‘s first classify
the new product in the product line and explain
its differences in terms of composition and
packaging. As the name suggests, this is
a new product in the Mr. Color product line.
In other words, these are basically well-known
synthetic lacquer paints (so-called lacquers),
which are at the absolute top of quality in the
modeling community when it comes to the
properties of paints applied with an air brush.
They are known for their quick drying, supberb
coverage, smooth surface without soaking in
and around relief details, and for their high
resistance to manual damage and resistance
to damage from various weathering products.
On the other hand, occasional criticism from
some modelers is directed at their stronger
odor, which complicates work especially
for people who have health restrictions or
practice their hobby in shared or small spaces,
where the stronger odor from the paints can
bother those around them. The new line of
paints basically retains the known positive
properties and takes them one level further.
The first improvement is the increased amount
of pigment, which is positively reflected in
better color coverage. Mr. Color GGX paints
focus on basic shades and are currently only
available in black, white and clear coats in
glossy and matte finishes. The packaging is
also different, which is significantly larger
compared to regular Mr. Hobby production and
the paints are only available in a 60 ml version,
which is significantly more compared to the
largest GX so far offered in 18 ml jars and even
6x more compared to classic Mr. Color paints,
which are sold in 10 ml bottles. The durability
of the paint is therefore considerable and will
probably last for many years for the average
modeler, which, given the properties of GSI
lacquer paints, does not pose any problem and
there is no risk of irreversible drying of the
paints and similar problems. In relation to the
package size, I also find the economic side of
the matter positive, since the price of the new
paint per ml is many times cheaper compared
to the regular Mr. Color paint. Another point
that needs to be mentioned is the reduced
odor of solvents in the paint, which is the
manufacturer‘s response to increasingly strict
environmental and legislative requirements,
but at the same time, as already mentioned,
with not only no loss in quality, but an actual
increase in it. Now let‘s introduce the individual
items of the new line in more detail.

The manufacturer has also prepared its
own thinners for the new Mr. Color GGX line
of paints. The first is Mr. Color GGX Thinner
