We enjoyed working with the SEOU Design Set during the test. The paint set is suitable for everyone. The advantage here is the huge selection of colors and the many possible uses. However, you have to be careful not to drip anything that could end up on the floor or clothing. It might be advisable to include a pair of gloves. Otherwise, the paint set from SEOU Designis a very good and practical product.

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.6 stars. The packaging is often criticized for being difficult to open. Many customers like the variety of application options. We were able to confirm this in our practical test.
Prices of up to €36.69 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €14.84, but the range is not as comprehensive. The paint set from SEOU Design is currently in the lower price segment with a price of €27.95. For the quality and scope of services you get, the price ratio is reasonably good.
