GW White vs Vallejo White

[J2FcM]

Has anyone compared the 2 whites...

I was told that the VJ White doesnt come out so chalky... My GW white for sure separates when mixed with other colors, and has chalky look to it... I\'m tempted to go out and get some VJ white if no one has compared the 2.

I have found the V White to be smother and go on less chunky. I found it mixes well as well, though I usually use a V cream intead of white when mixing for highlights.

The biggest problem I found with GW is that it seemed to try out quickly. Which is probably more due to me leaving the pot open then any problem with the paint.

I\'ve never liked straight white for highlights :s

And I hate trying to get it to look smooth...

If I can get away with it I\'ll use Bleached bone or Space wolves grey every time.

Haven;t tried any other Like Vallejo YET

iv used V white and it coveres more easily and not as blothchy but it feels thick as you put it on even thou its been watered down and everything it just feels wierd u now when oyu rub fingers across a desc and they sort of stick but still move its like that lol ¿¿¿

That was a truly superb analogy.
I applaud you sir.

I\'ve been using both recently. VGC White and VMC White are both less chalky than GW White, without a shadow of a doubt. Means that they\'re better for layering etc. However if you ever lightly drybrush on highlights, then GW (in my opinion), goes on a bit easier, because its chalkier and dries out more quickly

But I do agree with Dan - use a colour other than white to highlight with. To stop separation, a drop of V Glaze Medium seems to stop this for me (or some other medium).

Vallejo White is IMO a better paint, Coverage is smoother and using it as a mix in paint has not shown any \"chalky\" tendencies.
One thing I do like as well, is Vallejo\'s White Glaze. This can really improve pale highlights, but again like varnishes this does need a dedicated brush to prevent colour contamination.
