The February '93 issue of Model Railroader reviewed the new Badger
Accu-Flex paints.  Their review was quite positive, to say the least:

	The release of a new line of model paints doesn't tend to cause
	much celebration.  Singing and dancing are usually reserved for a
	new locomotive or *maybe* a good freight car.  However, a few
	minutes of ``playing'' with Badger's new Accu-Flex line of acrylic
	paints impressed me more than if someone had shown me an N scale
	locomotive with a working diesel engine.

It's quick-drying, sticks well, dries quickly, has very thin coats, and
doesn't need a primer even on metal.  The reviewer does note that one
should clean the airbrush immediately after use -- and with water, not
lacquer thinner -- trying that results in a ``gummy mess''.
