Vallejo is best and I own dozens of P3 paints. I wish I had discovered Vallejo eariler, but I didn't have a LGS that stocked the line until this last year.

But I do think that the P3 paints are generally the best on the market. Statements like this are always funny.. I mean, nothing against P3, but have you tried other paints even?
Not to mention the fact why there even has to be such discussion. "What is the best paint". P3 paints are usable, nothing more nothing less. On topic: there doesn't need to be any game IP behind miniature paints. Bones Black, however, sounds really interesting and it is nice to play with the thought of PP figures being made cheaper, yet with acceptable quality for painters.
That would be a dream actually. Admittedly one of the problems PP's game has is cost. In Europe it is more expensive than GW, and that is saying a lot as playing GW games isn't exactly cheap either.

Paint is another good point... even if PP and Reaper were to merge, the PP paint line would likely be straight up discontinued because Reaper manufactures their own paint in house and has no need to continue paying HMG (I think?) to produce paint for them. Especially right after they discontinued one of their own paint lines. Which, I suppose is one way to get #DropperBottleCID... But I do think that the P3 paints are generally the best on the market. No, they're not. There are better paints (Scale75), but P3 have some lovely colors that beat paints on similar price point (reds, blues and some metalics come to mind). What is really bad is their pots, they are pain to open without messing everything after some use, also lid breaks after some time. I've become fan of dropper bottles after years of messing with Citadel and P3. I even poured paints from damaged bottles to empty dropper ones. But generally speaking Citadel, P3, Valleyo and Army Painter are comparable in quality IMHO.

I have some old-ass Citadel paints from the late 1980s/early 1990s back when they still used that same style of pot. They definitely do get clogged and definitely do break eventually. But I guess they're decent at keeping paint from drying out? I mean, they still work after all these years.
