How much is paint for a model?

Where the subject of cost really starts to get interesting, is when you are expecting to do a lot of model painting, as with most products, the greater the volume you buy, the cheaper it becomes, and larger bottles or model-specific paint-sets can nearly half the cost of buying paint. This is great if you are likely to be painting a lot of models sharing the same colour groups, for example, military vehicles, but, for one-off projects or if any future models are likely to require different colours or shades, it's probably best to stick to smaller tins to avoid wastage and keep costs down.

Probably the best way of saving money is to buy paint sets containing several colours suitable for a specific theme. This will also ensure you have the right colours for your project.
