HiAll

Hope that there is a paint master or someone esel that can help me out. I am currently learning to use the airbrush and i am having problems with paint.

I am using acrylics, namely decorfin which is made by Talens. Now i use these as this is what i was using with brushes and i dilutd them with water. I have taken the advice to use a mix of alcohol and water and not just water but i am not afraid that i still will not get it correct.

On the other hand i wish to have some airbrush ready paints liek you guys use for several reasons:
1. See first hand the consistency of the paint
2. Ready mixed = ready to spray
3. Confirm that the probelms i am having is due to paint and not airbrush

Therefore since i will have to search for such paints abroad as here we do not have such things please let me know what brand i should look for in order to at least get some primary colours or the ones that i use most such as:

flesh tones (what would i need and from which brand)
Blood
basic colours for stones, rocks and skulls (this i can make out myself if i have a colour chart of teh compnay)

All your help is greatly appreciated
Alexei

lifetones freestyle paints are probably the best for the airbrush right now
you can go to the kitbuilders website and they have a list of all the colors there
