--- Bottles vs Metal Tubes ---
CAMEO PAINT BOTTLE METAL PAINT TUBE
Bottle Paint Scores Metal Tube Scores
Price = $2.95 complete!
(Less when bought in sets).  Save up to $1.30 over metal tube paints! 		Price = up to $3.75 plus 50 cents for tube protector = $4.25 total.  (Slightly less when bought in kits)
Dependable, long-lasting ballpoint tips Ballpoint tips may need frequent replacement or cleaning.
Durable, reusable container. 
Travels well.  Always looks good. 		Tube dents (looks bad), and can also crack and leak over time.  Does not travel well.
Color inside easily seen and chosen quickly and accurately.
What you see is what you get! 		Color name on outside but no other color indication.  You have to know what each color looks like or paint some out to find out. Others have a color outside that may or may not match actual paint inside.
Smooth, high-tech acrylic formula that does not contain harmful chemicals and has no odor.  Has the best water-based colorants ever developed! New formula is latex based and made from powder which clogs tips, washes out/fades, and does not stay smooth (congeals).  Some still use an older formula which is dangerous, smelly, and fumey.   Should not be used by those with allergies, lung, or respiratory problems.
Paint stays bright and true inside bottle. New formula paint will gray inside metal tube over time.
Top removes easily, without tools, for quick changes to brush painting. Needs special tool for tip removal and pressure inside can make removal difficult to do without loosing paint.
Does NOT need special tools or equipment...ever.  Saves $$$ Needs tube protectors, special tip wrench/pliers, flow control clips, special storage containers, etc.  These all cost extra.
Can be used to make finer lines, as needed, once easy techniques in free book are learned or through use of our new D250 Fine Lining Tool. TC tips make a finer line, but their tip is prone to clogs and leaking due to the compact tip construction.
Coverage is more difficult and takes longer to complete.
Paint flows nicely and pentrates well without squeezing after flow starts. Coverage is more difficult and takes longer.   Clogs are a problem and tube must be squeezed often to keep flow going.
Results are machine washable and dryable. Results are machine washable and dryable.
Does NOT require heat setting, but it can be done to speed curing for more immediate laundering. Otherwise, wait at least 72 hrs to launder. Does NOT require heat setting.  Requires 7 days to air cure before items can be laundered safely.  (Still may fade)
Can be applied just like any other ballpoint paints you may have used in the past...only it is easier to use and hold.  Paint flows better, too! Is just like using other ballpoint fabric paints from the past.
Upkeep is simple...just shake well as needed and store tip down for best results. Impossible to see natural separation of formula, so be sure to open and mix with special tools before painting if paints have been sitting a while. Otherwise, items may get oil stained.  Store tip down.
We report...you decide whether to pay more and get less...or not!  Dare to Compare!
