hybrideye 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 I use Pro-tec, don't know if it is the best, it is just more available to me. I did notice that some colors (pink, red, and baby bass) clump a lot more and are more heat intolerant. Maybe it is just the way I heat the heads, but the pink is the hardest for me to get a good "dip". Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobP 944 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 If you're airbrushing, most guys use water based acrylic latex airbrush paint. I don't have a favorite brand, it just depends on the color I'm looking for, but Createx brand is sold the most widely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronzeback3 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 Do you thin createx? Thats what I use now but I dont thin it at all. I just spray and go. I does dry in the air brush after a few min.

BobP 944 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 If you're shooting fine lines or small details at very low pressure, thinning might be required to get the spray pattern you want. But mostly I shoot it straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
