As with most airbrushes you will need to thin the paint down and it is a good idea to have fine ground high pigment paint too. Quote

Madmartigan Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I think you'll find with the amount of work it is to mask, thin the paint, clean the airbrush, etc., and the relatively small areas you are painting in a limited number of colors, it's just much easier to hand paint. Quote
