Bartster Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I got my 1st airbrush a while back (thanks Crazyjim !) & recently got a new compressor & accessories to go with it. I'll get it all figured out in due time. The problem is, the wife says l need to make it pay for itself (she's so wise !). The quickest, easiest way l can think of is to design & paint T-shirts. So do any of you airbrushers do this on the side ? What are the best fabric paints to use. I'm also thinking l could use these paints to make detailed fabric designs for model car interors such as Mexican style blankets for Rat Rods, etc. Any help/guidance will be appreciated !

Draggon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I just googled "fabric paint" and got 460K results. I've seen it a Michael's. Back in the day, I did shirts with good old testors in the little square bottles. It made the painted areas quite hard, so my results were not that good.

Bartster Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thank you. I also googled it, but all the websites for about 2 hours were either foreign or too big for my phone. Just wondering what brand & type paints folks were getting the best results out of ? Thanks again, Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have Deco Art, which yielded decent results on plastic. I might choose to start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
