Paints For Airbrushing

Recommended Posts

I've used "hobby acrylic paint" like Apple Barrel thinned with water. The problem is that non-airbrush paint has no standard about how large the pigment particles need to be, nor does it have flow agents. It will be Clog City unless you are using an a/b with a large tip. No harm trying it but I think you'll come around to the view that airbrush paint should be used in airbrushes. A bottle lasts a long time so the modest extra expense is not really much of a consideration when you consider the hassles you will be avoiding.
