Looks interesting, I wonder what the price point will be.

Nice to see them offering bigger 400ml cans of some colors too.

That's promising, now if we can just get some new colors that arent already available that would be awesome. Though i'm not seeing any colors that stand out so far.

I'd love to see more earth tones like the Tamiya TS line has (but for lexan).

Not a very large color selection, but I am excited about the larger cans as long as they aren't outrageously expensive.

It’s Traxxas so who knows. I could see the big cans being close to $20, I hope not though.

I pay $9 for a 4.5oz can now. I'd gladly pay $20 for a 13.5oz can.

^This.
Why, with all these classic truck body offerings, do we not have colors to go along with them. All these current color offerings (especially Tamiya PS) sure looked great on 1/12th pan cars from 1998.

Their website is showing $16 for the 13.5 oz cans. That's a bargain.

I've almost given up complaining about the lack of some decent variety being offered by every new company that releases paint for polycarbonate.

Take a look at the colors being used even on NEW trucks and SUVs these days!

It's a cryin' shame that everyone seems to be content to just compete against each other with the same damn colors.

I do realize that an airbrush and mixing paint would allow myself more options, but that's an unnecessary expense for those of us shooting simple single or two-tone paint jobs like what a typical off-road rig would be sportin'.

The day someone comes out with a selection that includes vintage, earth-tone, military, and primer colors is the day I drop some serious money on a can of each on offer and seriously get to brushing up on my painting skills!

I just got 3 cans. So far I'm liking it. My local shop had a rack with about 20 different colors.

I just grabbed some Traxxas paints and the first thing I noticed is the color of the can is not labeled except for the cap. Minor detail but its probably best to keep track of your caps or label the can yourself.

The nozzle seems to have a decent spray pattern and I'm really liking the larger can sizes.

EDIT: I just noticed the nozzle tips are colored to roughly match the paint color.
