I wish some one could help new guys to air brushing paint how to mix the paint to get the milky mixture. I use Humbro Acrylic small paint tins but can I get the mixture correct. Could some one who does regularly help with say weighting the amount of paint and then the amount of thinners to get the milky mix. Would be a great help.
I think the reason its not easy is because each brand, and each type (acrylic vs lacquer, Humbrol vs Pactra) all use different ratios, and some company's recommendations work well, while others have to be tested and altered. in addition to that, different airbrushes with different needles require different viscosities.
basically, what i am saying is its a black art to get YOUR paint to flow well through YOUR airbrush, and practice is the best answer.
