Possible to buy small pots of gloss???

Question

I live in Kent in the UK and want to paint some dolls house furniture but am on a budget and only need a small amount of paint. I have been to b & q, homebase etc and can only find larger pots... can anyone tell me if its possible to buy much smaller pots or if I'm wasting my time? Its driving me crazy!!!

Thank You :)

Answer 1

Your first answer is the right one. Humbrol do a good range of small pots from ones holding perhaps a tablespoonful to pots holding about i guess 1/4 pint.  Any toy shop will probably have a range in stock.

Answer 2

Modelling or craft shops sell Humbrol in small pots.

Answer 3

Do you have home depots there? I think they sell that type of stuff...

In The United States we have Home Depot and Lowes in almost every area! Good luck.

Answer 4

I'm in Kent and my local Homebase has a stand with lots of small pots of enamel and acrylic paint.  I bought a pot of silver the other day and it was £1.70-odd... they had loads of colours.  They normally have the stand near the Plasti-Kote spray paints.

Answer 5

In addition to craft stores that sell 1-2 oz bottles of craft paint, "Ceramacoat" is a common one here, look in school supply stores.  I got an assortment of white, black, red, blue, yellow, and green in 1 oz bottles all in a row for about $4 total.   Given these colors and a color wheel, you can make any color.
