P3 Paints Kickstarter Returns: New Colors, Classic Lids, & Fresh Formula for Miniature Painters
If you’ve ever held a P3 paint pot in your hand, you probably know the feeling—like an old friend ready to help you bring your miniatures to life. And if you haven’t, well, you’re in for a treat. P3 paints are making a triumphant return, and they’re not just coasting on nostalgia. With fresh colors, a slick new formula, and the option to choose between the classic lids or droppers (for those who like their paint with a side of convenience), this Kickstarter is giving painters of all skill levels plenty to get excited about.
Known for its rich pigmentation and smooth application, these paints have earned a spot in the hearts of miniature painters. The classic P3 lids, in particular, hold a certain charm. They’ve been a fixture in hobbyists’ toolkits for years, representing both consistency and quality. The unmistakable snap of that cap brings back memories for many painters, reminding them of countless hours spent perfecting their craft. It’s not just about the paint inside; the lids themselves carry a legacy, a sense of nostalgia that’s hard to replicate.
But this Kickstarter isn’t just a trip down memory lane. P3 is offering something for every painter with a choice between the original lids and dropper bottles. While the classic lids might stir up fond memories, the droppers bring a modern twist to the table—easy to use and perfect for precision mixing, complete with mixing balls inside for hassle-free shaking. You’ll have the best of both worlds, whether you’re a fan of the old-school feel or you’re looking for that modern convenience.
New Colors and a Fresh Formula
One of the most exciting parts of this Kickstarter is the release of 28 brand-new colors. That’s right—28 hues that have never been seen before. These new additions add even more variety to an already impressive lineup. Whether you’re into painting bold, vivid schemes or prefer subtle, muted tones, the range is sure to have something that fits your palette.
And let’s not forget about the improved formula. P3 paints have always been known for their smooth consistency, but the team has pushed things further this time. With maximum pigment load, you can expect intense, vibrant colors that thin down beautifully without losing coverage. This means you can layer, blend, and glaze with ease, all while maintaining the texture and flow that made P3 famous in the first place. The evolution of the formula balances innovation with the qualities that painters already love.

So, what can you actually get with this Kickstarter? Well, they’re offering a total of 110 bottles of paint. For those just getting their feet wet (or, you know, painted), the Starter Pledge gives you ten paints.
If you’re looking for a more substantial kit, the Hobby Pledge offers 50 bottles, which should be more than enough to tackle just about any project.
But for the truly committed, the Master Pledge delivers the full 100-paint experience. That’s practically a whole rainbow of possibilities, perfect for those large-scale painting projects or expanding your collection in one swoop.
