Would you guys say it's worth the price premium/size difference in the Liquitex heavy body paints over their normal paints?

I keep seeing lots of the Liquitex heavy body stuff on Ebay and it's super expensive locally (in Canada, it's like $18 a pop at Michaels, absurd!) so I was thinking of ordering a paint lot on Ebay.

Alternatively, if anyone has suggestions for a better value paint lot on Ebay/any other site, I'm all ears! I'm upgrading from my old Americana paints, haha.

Depends on if you know they will work together or not. Some acrylics wont stick to enamels and if using a thinner with enamels it can screw up your acrylics.

Would need to do some tests to see if it works or not before going all out on a paint up using both.

Sure can. As long as its the end result you wanted, go with what ever works. I just know mixing acrylics and some enamels dont work, but for different parts of the kit it will be fine.
