House of Kolor paint worth it for airbrush,ETC?

[shatteredsoul76]

I just ordered a airbrush and compressor and was wondering if the HOK paint is worth the price? I know the colors look great on thier website but are they really that unique. Ive also looked at the Createx line including the wicked colors as well as the Vellejo paint line, which Ive read good things about both. Ive also thought about the acrylic craft paints at Walmart that are really cheap and quite a few colors but are they any count on a plastic model car?

Lastly besides a booth, respirator, and paints what else do I need to go along with the airbrush, like what do I need to generally clean the airbrush after each use that wont harm it, etc. Im hoping to have the electric run to my shop within the next week so I can really sink my teeth into building some cars and would like to get anything else I need bought before then, I dont want to get in the middle of a build and realize I need this or that. Of course Im not rich and dont have a lot to spend on models so on the cheap is the best solution for me. Thanks for all the help as usual guys!

For kustom colors and quality HOK cannot be beat. For basic, blacks , whites, and solids Tamiya and duplacolor also have great paints. If you are going to airbrush lacquers think about a gallon of lacquer thinner, a place for the used thinner, and a place to clean your airbrush that is safe . :D

Definitely HOK is worth the price,but please buy some quality thinner for it and not the stuff from hardware/home centers. Use that to clean the airbrush however. My thinner of choice is PPG DTL 105 It evaporates very slow and causes the paint to flow out really nice.
