Review on 🎨 Top-Rated Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint Set: 16 Piece (2-Ounce) - Best Selling Colors Count by Christine Gillis

I've heard that these colors can be airbrushed but not. So for the price I figured why not try it? First, there is a difference between this paint and airbrush paint. Airbrush paint has pigments that grind much finer. As a rule, they already have some kind of superplasticizer added to them. Here's how I got these colors to work well in my airbrush: 1. I needed a larger needle. The 0.02 gauge needles clogged as did the 0.03 gauge needles when pressure was not applied. 0.05 is perfect. I can draw about 1/16 wide lines with a quality brush and that's all I need with this color.2. It obviously needs to be thinned out, emphasized. You can use Windex and it worked fine for me. However, I have found that Pledge Revive It Floor Gloss works VERY well and smells nice. The advantage is that unlike Windex, the Pledge product does not give your white color a slight bluish tint.3. Not all colors are the same. That means they don't have the same coating from bottle to bottle. Some colors are VERY strong (black) and should be used sparingly when mixing to avoid making the color too dark.4. Unlike oil paints, this material dries before our eyes. It dries so quickly that it often dries out within seconds of touching your piece. It also dries very quickly in your paint cup. I usually try not to leave any color on my brush for more than 15 minutes without a quick rinse. To slow this down if needed, I add a few drops of good old vegetable glycerin to the mix. This will slow down drying if that's what you're looking for, and it also helps VERY well with wicking the paint into the fibers of the fabric when airbrushing shirts. Glycerin also works well as an airbrush pen to make the action smoother, and if a part gets stuck in the paint jet, VG won't hurt anything, unlike oil-based products. Look, you sacrifice ease of use to avoid paying $6 or $7 for a 2 ounce bottle of specialty airbrush paint. When you draw as much as I do, it quickly adds up. These paints are viable substitutes and work just as well as most when diluted and injected with a large enough needle to prevent clogging. My expensive brush is now used ONLY for very fine detail, which I don't do very often.
