jjsipes Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 These new labels on the Testors Model Master Lacquer Paints are something left to desire. I don't know who designed them but, no where on the can label is the name of the color printed on it. The only place the name shows up is on a sticker on top of the cap. Who designed this BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You answered your own question. By leaving off the color info, the same label can be used on all of the cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 They've probably just decided that it was time to join the rest of the world. A lot of paint producers do this and have been since.......forever. Duplicolor paints all share the same label and have for decades. The only difference is the cap color.

jjsipes Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 A colored cap is one thing but just a small sticker/label on a black cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 What's the difference? As long as the cap stays with the can, you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way there is no need to produce caps in dozens of different colors. Testors has also done this for decades. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The bean counters are trying to minimize costs (less individual labels to print) and thereby maximize profits. I can live with that easier than higher prices, or less color options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I carefully peel the label designating the color off of the cap and stick it on the can, I use some scotch tape to hold the label on, if needed, then I toss the cap.... -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuces Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Use a Sharpie of any color of your choice to mark the back of the can.... Problem solved! ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
