Snake45 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My favorite is Testor or Model Master enamel, thinned with common lacquer thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Any paint that can be thinned can be sprayed through an airbrush, plain and simple. Art Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Testor's Aztec. It's pre-thinned, has great pigment, and is very forgiving. Drys matte, so clear is needed. Theirs is excellent. IMO if you haven't airbrushed before, this is the way to go. http://www.testors.com/product-catalog/testors-brands/aztek/airbrushable-acrylic-paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroracer Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Nail polish, simple as that. It is lacquer based, thins easily and sprays very well. Go to the Dollar Store and pick up three bottles of polish to do one model. The colors are endless and, for 5 or 6 bucks, the price can't be beat. You will need to prime with PlastiKote or Dupli-Color light grey sandable primer.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
