what's the best airbrush acrylic paint brand?
I'd like to know what is the best brand and the way you use these colors ( the way you thin them, ecc).

If Life Tones wasn't the best, I wouldn't be having them make my paints and I sure as hell wouldn't put my name behind it ... really just that simple.

Jesse's paints(life tones) don't need thinning. They're ready to go right out the bottle.

I have a complete set of Vallejo Game Colors (bought them off Ebay), and believe me they are NOT airbrush ready.

My paints www.garagekits.us/colors are airbrush ready, and Steve Riojas is going to be writing a review of them for the next issue of AFM (Amazing Figure Modeler).
Not to toot my products horn, but everyone that has used them (Steve Riojas, Rick Cantu, Jim Capone, Tom Bonaldi, Saul Alvarez) has had nothing but great things to say about them.
Each of these was painted using my paints

It seems your color are great, but not so cheap
what is the enhancer for?
and the thickner?
and the flattener?

You want cheap, get the crap they sell at K-Mart and Micheal's. You want quality paints that will make your models and statues look good, and that doesn't clog your airbrush every 3 minutes so you spend equal or more time unclogging it as you do actually painting ... that doesn't come cheap.
Enhancers are just that ... enhancers, they take the base colors and make them pop ... you use them as shade and highlight colors.
Thickener makes the paint thicker so you can use it with brushes for either touch ups or small paint jobs like eyes or dry-brushing.
Flattener is used to reduce gloss colors.
