Hey peeps, long time no see, life changes and all the crap that goes on with it happened, but settling down again so i should soon be back to darken your lives

Anyways i was wondering if any you guys use an airbrush, if so do any of you spray acrylics, what do you use to reduce it, ive been using thinners but its screwing up the airbrush all the time.

never done it, but I think it's thinned with water......or sometimes alchohol (rubbing alchohol)..............

What brand name of paint are you shooting and with what gun? Sometimes I use CREATEX with a Badger 150 and always use water and use their airbrush cleaner. Works fine for me..

Hi Mike!

I worked with airbrushes for 15 years, from 1985 to 2000.
I had Badger, Iwata & Holbein Richpen airbrushes. All good.
My favorite was the Richpen. The gravity feed cup makes the airbrush cleaner and easier to clean.

But about acrylics, I thought most of the brands sucked.
I really didn't like Createx (too thick), Badger's colors were not bad, but the only one I liked was
Holbein Aeroflash acrylics. They have opaque and transparent colors. You just need to add a little bit
of water to it. Thinners just for cleaning airbrushes.
