Airbrush Paint

[scootmike]

Well I've picked an airbrush, next thing is paint, what is everybody using?
Createx seems to be widely available, was looking at the regular airbrush paint, does it stick to lexan?
i see they have other types, Wicked and Auto Air, just not sure which is best for lexan, will also use it on hard bodies.
Any help is appreciated!

if you can get your hands on Pactra paint .. the best ive used .. just thin 1/2 with laquer thiner

after that ive tryed the new water base paints ... not bad .. easy clean up .. but the pactra is 10x better for fine detail work

for lexan liquid mask is your friend .. just make sure you but 3 coats on with a brush

Thanks for the info, I'm going to try water based paint first, have read a lot of good results with Createx's Wicked line of paint.
Will have to get some liquid mask too, have a Cameo Silhouette and plan to make mask's with it, will all be a learning experience

if we arnt learning we might as well lay down

if your going to do camo there are alot of curved lines go for a x acto swivel knife ... anouther learning curve but works well for curved lines
