What's new in Model Box

Changes in this release:

• When a paint description mentions other paints it relates to - the ones it recreates or that the description is about (mostly the RLM standard) - those mentions are now interactive elements that also show the referenced paint’s color.
• Smoother checkout - no accidental double-subscribe, and cleaner trial-period handling
• Security and privacy improvements
• Consistent paint-card styling in the default paint grid - a paint’s finish (matte, gloss, etc.) now sits next to its chemical base, the same as on every other card.

Model Box is out of preview and open to everyone. Sign up, log in, and start matching paints today.
