Default which acrylic paints?

All right here's another rookie question for you veterans.
Is there much difference in the acrylic paints in a bottle or the tubes?
In my few painted carvings I've always used the bottles, I've never tried the tubes.

You will get a hundred different responses on this on. But just remember. Somewhere there is a big pot of paint and all the companies are lined up to take their turn at the dipper. Tube, tub or bottle it's all the same.

cedarshavings,

i use the bottles from delta/ceramcoat, or americana, these are all that i have used and they have done well. the one thing to remember with acrylic paint is to thin it, it is plastic and needs thinning.
