Reply to "Beginner Question Concerning Concrete-colored Paint"

I'm like you....I've got a LOT of 'concrete' to paint on my city (et al) scenery, and I'll probably use the Camo-Khaki by R/O....just because I'm cheap thrifty when it comes to ho-hum colors like.....concrete.  Gray primers are OK, too, for variety/aging....IMHO, of course.  Ditto cheap thrifty crafty acrylics....like the Barn Wood suggestion above.

But, since you asked, I'll add a couple more from the relatively new kid on the block...Tru-Color...

TCP-006  Concrete

TCP-172  Weathered Concrete

TCP-801  Flat Concrete

I haven't used any of the above, mind you.  But the difference between 006 and 801 escapes the casual mind (i.e., most of my cranial output).  I mean, could it be there is to follow the release of 801 a couple more variants.....like 'Curved' or 'Bumpy' Concrete????  Or, perhaps, 'Polished' Concrete???  

And, oh yes,  I just noticed that Testor's is coming out with two new acrylic colors...

4875  Flat Aged Concrete

4876  Flat Concrete

Hmmmmm.....there it is, again...."Flat"!!   I don't think of concrete's appearance typically as anything BUT flat.    But, then again, my opthamologist warned me that the cataract operation(s) would change my color perceptions. 

Which is why I think cheap thrifty when it comes to colors like 'Concrete', leaving the hyperanalyisis to the pickers of nit and otherwise challenged.

Hey, they don't call me Lucas Gudinov for nothing!
