{ This year’s Paint Buyer’s Guide is loaded with all the
information you need for choosing the correct paint
for your application.
If you’re a beginner, you may wonder what types of paints are best suited to
your chosen surface. Although many airbrush experts stress that becoming a
pro means lots of experimentation, our charts will help steer you in the right
direction and hopefully eliminate much of the frustration new airbrushers en-
counter. For each paint product featured in the guide, we’ve checked off a list
of manufacturer-recommended surfaces on which to use the paint. Simply
find your desired painting surface at the top right of the chart and see which
paints are best for that surface. In the charts, you’ll also find information on
paint base, thinning, additives and finish. We’ve also included a directory with
phone numbers, addresses and Web sites for all the paint makers included
in the guide.
There are roughly five types of paint—acrylics, inks and dyes, oils, ure-
thanes, and watercolors. Each one has its own set of pros, cons and recom-
mended surfaces, so before you start a project, take a moment to review your
needs and choose the correct paint.
Acrylics: Of all the paint options for airbrush, these are the most versatile
and easiest to use. You can use these paints on just about any surface, includ-
ing fabric, canvas and acetate. They spray evenly through an airbrush and
have short dry times, which means you don’t have to wait long between
coats. If you thin acrylic paints properly, you can even use them to achieve
a transparent effect. Some brands make this even easier by offering ready-
mixed transparent paints.
When acrylic paints dry, they are very strong. The pigment in acrylics is
bound with plastic, allowing the paints to stand up to just about anything,
including water. The notable exception to this, however, is alcohol. The good
news for frisket lovers is that acrylic paints are hardy enough to withstand this
type of masking, especially when compared to watercolors or gouache.
Be sure to shake acrylic paint before using; it can separate if not homog-
enized. Also, when spraying acrylic textile paint, you need to use a relatively
high air pressure (40 to 60 psi) to more effectively force the color into the fab-
ric. Another way to ensure that you’re getting the most from your acrylic paint
is to heat-set your fabric after painting. Tip: Acrylic paints can be very difficult
to remove from the inside of your airbrush, so make sure you clean up right
away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to clean your airbrush.
Inks and Dyes: Another great choice for airbrush use. These thin pig-
ments are easy to spray with an airbrush and require a low psi. A top choice
of commercial illustrators, inks and dyes provide brilliant color on paper and
illustration board. If you use paper, it should be extremely fine-grained be-
cause any textures will show through your paint. A small drawback to using
inks and dyes is that your ready-to-use color choices are relatively limited, but
you can easily mix them, allowing for creative custom colors. In fact, most
jars come with an eyedropper on the lid, giving you the ability to precisely
fine-tune your color mixtures. Caution: although your colors will be vibrant,
exposure to light causes fading.
With inks, you should always shake the bottle first, because the pigment
can separate. As with acrylics, we recommend that you clean your airbrush
immediately after working with inks. Tip: Avoid letting your hands come in
contact with the art. The oil in your skin can wreak havoc on your work, turn-
ing a first-rate paint job into a splotchy nightmare. We recommend using
cotton gloves when you work with inks.
72 | AIRBRUSH ACTION | SEPTEMBER–OCTOBER 2014
Oils: Oil paints provide intense and durable colors, but using them with an
airbrush can be tricky. Oil paints predate the airbrush by hundreds of years,
so they weren’t exactly designed with our tool in mind! But it is certainly pos-
sible to airbrush with oil paints. The first step is to thin the oils with turpen-
tine or mineral spirits at about a 60/40 paint-to-thinner ratio. Add the thinner
working from the bottom and don’t shake the mixture.
Because of their slow dry time, oils are difficult to use with frisket. Make
sure your paint has dried thoroughly between coats and when applying any
masks. Thinning helps speed up drying times. As with any paint, clean your
airbrush thoroughly and promptly after spraying use.
Urethanes: Unlike many other types of paint, urethanes are extremely du-
rable. They are designed for heavy-duty work on cars, motorcycles, boats and
other such surfaces, and can withstand the elements. These tough-as-nails
paints can be covered in clearcoat, sanded and polished. Urethanes contain
much more pigment than lighter-weight acrylics, which helps explain their
rugged strength. Because they do not dry by water evaporation, urethanes
require a catalyst or hardener to dry them.
Urethanes came in two varieties: single-stage and two-stage. Single-stage
urethanes combine their pigments with a clearcoat material, eliminating the
need for a separate clear finish application. Although single-stage urethanes
have lengthy dry times, you can sand and polish them as soon as they’re dry.
Two-stage urethanes have a dull finish when applied and need the addition
of a clearcoat to provide luster. Your color options with two-stage urethanes
are plentiful with opaques, pearls and transparents. Although you will have
the extra step of applying clearcoat, your dry time is much shorter.
Urethanes require special caution when sprayed. Use a respirator and
good ventilation to minimize your exposure to fumes.
Watercolors: Watercolors are perfect for airbrush because their thin
makeup allows for very even and easy spraying. The con: watercolors lack the
durability of acrylics and urethanes. Watercolors won’t hold up when exposed
to the elements, especially moisture; the same water that binds the pigments
will destroy the paint once it’s applied to a surface. This is why watercolors are
generally limited to illustration and fine art.
Since watercolors are transparent, you should apply them in thin coats,
building layer upon layer until you achieve your desired depth. Remember
that hints of earlier coats will show through the layers. This makes it especially
difficult to paint over a mistake when using watercolors. However, gouache,
an opaque version of watercolors, is suped up with white paint to achieve
opacity. Gouache has all the airbrush-friendly traits of watercolor, but it ef-
fectively covers mistakes, and because it’s thicker, you don’t need to apply
as many coats.
You can purchase watercolors in tubes or cakes, or you can get them pre-
mixed and ready to spray. Simply add distilled water to the cakes or tubes,
and you’re ready to airbrush. Frisket poses some challenges when working
with watercolors. The adhesive can easily pull your paint off the surface. Also,
once dry, watercolors can crack if forced to bend, so keep your completed
artwork as rigid as possible.
Watercolors dry quickly. One of the best parts of working with watercolors
is their easy clean-up. A good soaking will remove just about all the paint.
