A few years ago, I ordered MSP Oxide Red #09332 from an Ebay seller that I'd had good experience with before. I tried using it and it kept rubbing off the mini.
I ordered another bottle directly from Reaper. That bottle was fine.
I'm glad it was only a solo bottle; I had previously bought both 28-color Reaper MSP Pathfinder Colors sets from the same Ebay reseller and all 56 paints from those sets seem fine.
I got my new bottle of #MSP 09332 Oxide Red today. (Sometimes listed as Oxidized Red.)
Here's a comparison between the original bottle I got in May from an Ebay seller and the new one that arrived today direct from Reaper.
That old bottle was definitely bad, yep.
Also, of the two color swatches in the sample, the original bottle swatch has two coats, the new bottle swatch only has one coat. That old paint was/is very thin.
In the most recent paint order I placed (yesterday 09/20), I ordered another bottle of #MSP 09332 Oxidized Red.
The previous bottle I ordered back in May (from a seller on Ebay) has never performed to my satisfaction and I think I might have a bottle that went bad. I asked if there was a trick to it on the #ReaperMIniatures forum and they said no, so it seems it's just my bottle that is tricky.
The new bottle I've ordered directly from Reaper.
Watched a #ReaperMiniatures Rhonda Bender #BirdWithABrush video. She painted swatches of the paint triad I ordered. They're all colored metallics.
29189 Ravenfeather isn't quite what I expected, but looks very cool. It looks like a black with a purple tones and shimmer in her swatch. Great, I want it for raven swarms.
29190 Ghostvane looks a whole lot cooler than I thought it did.
29191 Tomb Treasure is a light blue metallic, which I suspected already.
I probably did not need more paints, but how could I pass up a paint called Ravenfeather that is a purple so dark it is almost black?
I ordered the ReaperCON 2023 paint triad with Ravenfeather, Ghostvane, and Tomb Treasure.
I'm not that excited about Ghostvane (a violet) or Tomb Treasure (a pale blue but it might be a metallic), but that Ravenfeather....
That Ravenfeather has me fanning myself. Lordy.
Here is my #CrookedDice #redcap #miniature fully painted.
Front and back shots.
I bought two of these guys but I haven't started the other one yet.
As with my other #miniatures, he's painted with #Reaper #MasterSeriesPaints.
I plan to use him as vicious #fey in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign.

When I buy new paints I put a drop of paint on the lid so I can see the actual paint color. I did this on Thursday.
When I went to bed late last night one of the paints was still tacky. I rubbed it and the drop of paint rubbed off. So I put it on again and it's drying. Maybe I didn't shake it enough the first time. The color is #09332 Oxide Red in the #MasterSeriesPaints line.
Aside from that, I have four new miniatures fully primed, based, and undercoated now.
Last night I went through all 28 #paints in my new #MSP #Pathfinder Colors of Golarion Set #2, adding a stainless steel agitator to each bottle and painting the color on the lid of each bottle. I also painted color swatches on a 4x6 index card that has swatches of all my MSP paints.
Now that I've seen the colors firsthand, I think my favorites are
89537 Thuvian Sun Orchid
89542 Shoanti Sienna
89543 Gug Umber
Some people hoard dice...
The four colors in my new MSP Pathfinder Colors of Golarion Set #2 with faded labels are:
89549 Cold Iron
89551 Kelishite Gold
89553 Brevoy Copper
89555 Brigh Bronze
(Yes, that is Brigh Bronze. The paint color is named after a Pathfinder deity of clockwork, invention, and time; it is not intended to say 'bright." Brigh is also known as "The Bronze Lady" and "The Whisper in Bronze".)

Today I received my #Reaper Master Series Paints Pathfinder: Colors of Golarion Set #2 in the mail from #Pippd.
It's 28 paints in the set, and they're all there with no leaks or anything like that, but at least four of the bottles have labels that are very faded like old receipts. I'm disappointed that they arrived this way.
Label fading is common on Master Series Paints, but usually not new in-package from my experience.
Oh well.
