I have been looking at other brands of spray paints:
Montana: 26 colours water based, 96 others (substance not listed).
Humbrol: About 10 (solvent based).
Kobra (acrylic) Well over 100.
Belton/Molotow 150
I have asked most of them for the solvent used and what gives the colour.
No luck in my quest to find sprayable water-based acrylic paints like those we use (like Vallejo Model Air) but in a spray can. Several suppliers of spray cans did not reply, but Montana did. It is clear that all their spray can paints (and their competitors'), despite having acrylic in their makeup, are volatile solvent based (Nitrocellulose etc.). So no advantage over Tamiya's (otherwise excellent) range of spray paints (all their TS range is volatile solvent based). It seems that if we want a sprayable non-smelly quick drying paint, we must use Vallejo's Model Air (and equivalents) and an Airbrush. I would be the first customer of any model paint manufacturer offering a spray can version.
Or use Vallejo Model Color (and equivalents) in a brush!
