David G Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just curious what paints used by those that have been airbrushing for a while? Note: Yes - I did a seach on historical :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthunder Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I use only water based paints because it is VERY EASY on clean ups Createx and AutoAir. Can be mixed and matched, and the colors are endless.......Oldthunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrs5kprs Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I think most of us are shooting Createx. Someone (Skeeter maybe?) shoots house paint and does well with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for the feedback... I've been using testor enamels so far with decent results... just wondering if something is better is out there. I hear createx alot - so now I have to give it a shot (no pun) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthunder Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hey.......You'll probably find the clean up and color change MUCH easier with the water based paints I hate spending more time cleaning than painting, so these type paints are ideal. You'll also find that the cost factor is incredible. For the cost of one bottle of Createx or AutoAir, you'll get way more coverage and lures painted than the Testors. Stretchin' your dollar is vital Have fun........Oldthunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Beware of using AutoAir with Etex because it reacts in a bad way. Stick with createx. jed v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthunder Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sorry to go off top.........How so are Etex and AutoAir not compatible??? .......Oldthunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBooger Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If Auto Air is cured there shouldn't be a problem with Etex... http://www.smdesigns.co.uk/paint/tech/tech3.html Hope this helps - Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
