Airbrushing

Post by fkgamer »

Hello everyone.

I have a ton of models to paint and was wondering if anyone has used the GHQ paints with an airbrush? If so what is a good paint to water ratio to use? The GHQ paints seem a bit thicker than some of the other model paints and a lot thinner than artist tube paints. Would like some help so I don't have to experiment with a whole jar of paint to get the right mix.

Thanks!

Cama is right. I have had no problems with using it in an airbrush (my preferred method) and actually have used in place of Testors/Tamya paints on some of my plastic models with great results. The coverage seems to be a lot more even. I use only water to thin and have no problems, however I use it right away. I may try Cama's trick and see how that compares.
