Liquitex BASICS® Acrylic Paint, 8.5oz. is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 26.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the coverage and finish! I've been wanting to try this brand for a while now and finally decided to make my first purchase. I bought the mars black colour and found it to be amazing compared to other acrylic brands. The tube feels heavy (full) and the paint is quite thick (in my opinion). The coverage is amazing and the tiniest amount goes a long way. Will definitely buy more colours in the future!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product except.... These are great paints except for the colors made in China. I find the ones that say made in France on the back to have better coverage and do not smell. The ones I just got in my second order, some of them said made in China on the back, they smell horrible and are a runny and do not cover well at all. I have learned and will just be going in the store to get my colors so I can make sure they are not made in China.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great paint for the price. I use this stuff a lot. The inconsistency of paint is to be expected with almost any brand. You just have to know what to do if it’s a little lumpy and also know that it will work with what you are using it on. Way better on wood then cardboard.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from disappointed in this very transparent paint Instead of buying pricy acrylic paint that I would normally use to do an acrylic painting on canvas, I bought 7 tubes of this acrylic paint to paint cardboard for a project I'm doing. The colors looked great and I couldn't wait to get started. Unfortunately, this paint is transparent and the beautiful bright colors do not look that way unless you use 4 coats. I'm painting cardboard and since this paint is thin and very fluid, it gets absorbed by the cardboard which makes the cardboard warp, especially after 4 coats! I'm not sure what surface this paint would be opaque on, if any. Going to return the unused tubes. It was not cost effective or time effective bc I blew through a tube just by painting an 8"x8"x9" box.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not all colors are good! This paint is great value for the quantity you get, but some colors are always gross and gloppy. I've had the most problems with dark colors like browns, but it's also happened with yellow. So check the tube and make sure it's smooth before buying, and even then, be prepared that it may go over in a couple of months if you don't use it all. This is not a problem I have ever had with Liquitex's other products, which I do still recommend.
