So I haven't tried this technique myself, but I believe the basic premise is that you paint areas in shadow using black and then highlighted areas are painted in white. After that you laydown your actual top color. The black and white base coat provides the variation in your top coat. Very much like the standard pre-shading technique. Bill has a video linked in his Hanomag thread of someone painting a tiger using this method. Here the link, video is on page 3 post #26...

As far as I can tell Mig Jimenez is giving you everything you need to attempt this technique in one a one stop shop. Like most of his weathering products it takes a lot of the guess work out of it, which I really appreciate.
And for what its worth, I just placed an order with the Ammo of MIG store and I can't say enough good things about the service I received. My package arrived from Europe within a week, and I had a hand written note thanking me for my purchase plus a couple of free items as a thanks you for ordering from them.

OK, so once you know the technique, who cares what brand of paint you use? While I have never used white I have used black in the shadow areas but found it hard to get the result I wanted and it added yet another step to the process and have since gone back to just using a shadow wash in what would be shadow areas.
I can get the marketing of this, nice simple package and instructions. They have to make money. But I'm with you Gary, I guess I have too heavy of a hand to do a proper preshade job.
