I saw this stuff in a shop a while back, and actually took a photo of the can so I could research the product online... my guess is that it wouldn't be much use on infantry, and even on large Epic vehicles: the spray would just clobber everything, you'd need something more like an airbrush to get the level of detail. It'd probably work quite well on terrain pieces though.

Agreed. Nice concept, but at this scale you need something more precise.

I'd go for washes and weathering powders personally instead, checkout the Forgeworld Imperial Armour Painting Masterclass book if you ever get a chance - it goes into tonnes of detail of advanced weathering techniques. Even then these would only be useful for titans/superheavies or normal tanks at a push.

Oil based washes are the way to go for epic - nothing else is fine enough. I prefer the pre-mixed Mig ones but lots of people mix their own from oil paints and thinner
