Era: 1965 included.
a collectable in United States of America.

Specialised in the idea of "1hour drying time".
Humbrol started its line of 'Authentic colours' in late 1967. Initially these colours were only sold in sets of four called kits. From 1974 on they were also sold separately, and Humbrol produced special paint lockers for shops to display them. A 1975 advertisement claimed that there were 98 Authentic Colours and 50 standard colours at the time. The Authentics line was ended in 1989.
MATT 24 was unsalvageable.
Enamel paints have oil in them that will rise to the surface in the tin if they are left for a long time and this means that they can have a very long shelf-life if the tin is properly closed.
They're designed for simple and flat coverage of colours.
Paints are consisted of
pigment which provides the colour.
solvent such as water, acetone or turpentine which carries the pigment particles evaporating, causes the paint to dry.
binder makes the paint stick to a surface and then hardens to make it durable.
