Very nice intro...

not really airbrush question..but its related

about model paint..can we use mr.hobby thinner to thin tamiya acrylic paint?
i know tamiiya acrylic is water base..but can we actually thin it with water?
i still need to spend RM40 for tamiya acrylic thinner

btw,acrylic is water based meh???i thought two totally different things if ur paint is water based,like createx,u can use water,but i read windex is better(dunno got this here or not).Other types of paint i think should use paint thinner.

Btw,i reccomend Createx line of paints,haven't find it locally,but u can get the paint sets from bearair.com.It is really good stuff,and generally water based paints(createx is water based) are safe to spray inside ur house,while lacquer,enamel,acrylic(not sure with acrylic) is pretty toxic to spray inside.Btw,in case u asked,createx is the same as Parma's line of Faskolor paints,just that Createx comes in bigger sizes and is cheaper.Createx is good for anything,fabric,metal,lexan,plastic.So u guys might wanna give it a try

cause i thought i saw at the tamiya paint label there..they said its water base for their arcylic paint..

that is what i think la..better go check it again

Arcylic paint is water base. You can mix with water and spray and brush. But if you want to thin up the paint in the bottle better use the tamiya thinner. Cause it will dry out fast and spoil the paint if keep long time. For oil base paint use back the own thinner but use others thinner (buy in hardware shop) to clean your AB. This way would be cheaper and more effective to clean the AB.
For AB car or bike model, recommend to use oil base paint. It would adchive more gloss surface than the arcylic paint. If you use arcylic paint, you have to AB another clear gloss layer. I use most of the arcylic on military model and oil base on car body model.

acrylics paints basically have 2 types..one is water based and the other is solvent based...

water base is those of gunze sangyo aqueos paints....and tamiya is alcohol based ..since alcohol can can disolve in water, then it can be said water base...but the term is not 100% correct... to replace tamiya thinner, u can use IPA (isopropyl alcohol )...water alone will work but will not get good finishing job...

the other type of acylics paints is solvent based...example gunze Mr Color range...this one is lacquer based acylics..and u have to use mr.thinner to thinned them...household thinner cap kuda belang can be used but no recommended..........

btw,where to buy isorophyl/rubbing/denatured alcohol???

cap kuda belang thinner can use to clean your airbrush with no problem right?

who had got the airbrush accessories? i seriously interest with this..and anyone willing to teach me more? like how to do, stuff needed and kind of paint, mixing and etc..maybe a tt?
