paint thickness testing was my passion and hobby. I enjoy it more than anything else.

I spent way too long doing it though. At one time I even tried to cover all possible combinations (just to
see if I could get it past the "I can't be bothered to pick one" hurdle). I only got about 4 times out of each
testing range and most of them turned out to be wrong. The ones that did have a good result were from
my first attempt at doing it.

So here's my method used over 20 months. It uses an infrared thermometer to gauge paint thickness,
but is not necessarily a "test of paint" in all respects. It is a "measure of consistency".

My method is by no means complete, so I have added in my own notes below.

For the purposes of this test I will use "solid pigment" paints (like "solid blue paint" from Ultimaker 2
and "clear pigment" from Hobby Boss).

This guide will cover:

The actual testing procedures I use and where you can see them mentioned above.

Yayy!!!

I have a feeling that it's not going to be pretty!

In summary, I'd say it's a real shame. All these panels have been built to an absolute standard that I
never would have imagined in my worst scenarios. As far as I know, it's no real loss to the industry but it
is a real shame. There could be a very good reason why these panels won't be cut any less thin, if they
were, I'd be the first person to ask the question.

Anyway, in conclusion I hope that they'll be cut an acceptable thickness and I'll go into detail on the
manufacturing processes, so to speak. I'll also do my best to include the latest information about the
panels, if necessary. Thank you for reading the first part about the panel's shape
This time (since my previous post) I decided to give it a try to see what the results will be using my new
favorite paint – BHX acrylic paint. I'm really enjoying the changes in the colors and the different textures.

I hope you enjoyed the update and I'm looking forward to your comments and advice. I love to hear
what others think and would greatly appreciate any of them.

It can be confusing since the colors that show up are very different than the ones that make the actual
product.

All of my shades are natural and very neutral with very soft-to-the-touch wear characteristics. They also
have a very limited window of wear. The shades are very difficult to dye and dyefast.

My products are available for all major retailers at an unbelievable price.
