Paint for Art, Craft, Glass & Model Making:

Smartfox’s paint collection brings together a particularly broad selection of art, craft and hobby paints. Rather than focusing on a single medium, the range covers acrylic and enamel paints, transparent glass paints, specialist model colours and paint sets, with options for different surfaces, techniques and finishes. Brands represented include Humbrol, FolkArt, Pebeo, Vallejo and Atelier.

Acrylic & Multi-Surface Craft Paint:

Acrylic paint options include FolkArt Multi-Surface colours in 59ml bottles and Atelier Interactive artist acrylics in 80ml tubes. The FolkArt range is designed for decorative and craft painting across surfaces including wood, canvas, glass, fabric, ceramics and terracotta, making it useful when a project involves more than a traditional painting surface.

The collection also includes specialist acrylic colours for miniature and model work, such as Vallejo Model Air 17ml paints, alongside Vallejo paint sets designed around particular miniature-painting themes.

Humbrol Enamel Paint for Models & Hobbies:

Humbrol enamel paint forms a major part of this collection, with an extensive palette supplied in compact 14ml tins. Colours span matt, gloss, satin and metallic finishes, including specialist shades commonly associated with scale modelling.

These solvent-based enamel paints are developed for plastic model kits but selected colours can also be applied to materials including wood, glass, ceramics, metal and cardboard. This makes the Humbrol range particularly relevant for model makers looking for precise colours and a choice of surface finishes.

Glass & Decorative Paint:

For glass decoration, the collection includes Pebeo Vitrail transparent paints in 45ml bottles. These luminous colours are designed for stained-glass-style effects and glass decorating, with transparent and opalescent finishes represented within the wider Vitrail range.

Choosing the Right Paint:

Match the paint to both your surface and intended finish. Choose artist acrylics for conventional painting, multi-surface acrylics for decorative craft projects, specialist model acrylics or enamels for miniatures and scale models, and Vitrail paints for glass work. For modelling in particular, check whether you need a matt, satin, gloss or metallic finish before selecting a colour.
