Hi every body.I am going to be painting some parts with acrylic paint.My wife is a crafter and has hundreds of paints and a lot of colore.So how much do i reduce it to go thru a gravity air brush and are you using water or something else?

Olderndirt:
 Thin it down to about the consistency of milk. I’d practice with paint just thinned with water.

Thanks!!! 8)

I have had respectable (to me!) results using the inexpensive Apple Barrel or Craftsmart acrylic paint. I thin with distilled water to the milk consistency that Olderndirt recommended, then add Tamiya x-20 until it's a skim milk consistency. This coupe was painted with this type of paint.
