paint

[transmotion]

i,d like to know how to mix paints.....as in thin paints

i,ve been using water based paints because if i make a mistake its easy to fix.

i,d like to try to paint with some nail polishes....but what do i thin them with.

the same with some automotive paints. i have a nice air brush...badger ....i just don,t want to screw

up my airbrush.also what clear coats can go over what paints without hurting the paint or model.

can i use what i thin the paints with to also clean up my airbrush?

Ahhh transmotion(need your name) you are asking a lot of needed questions and all good ones. Rather than bore you with my writing skills you should scroll down to Tips ,tricks and ideas you can search here or just scroll down and you will find a wealth of ways to do your painting. We all have a slightly different way of shooting paint...most work well, so you need to find a style that you will be comfortable with...then practice, practice, practice!!!! good luck!
