Spraying with acrylic paints

[Mego Magyar]

I never liked the look of painting boots and having brush stroke marks so I look on line if there was some way of thinning the acrylic paints and using it in a Testor airbrush that I got years ago. I found this info on thinning and using Ceramcoat in an airbrush - should work just as well with similar paints brands. Windex - or similar cleaners - will thin the paint for spraying. I don't use more then a 50/50 mix and don't use anything with vinegar if your airbrush is chrome. I've now used this on my Thanos gloves, boots and collar and it turned out great,very smooth with no brush stroke marks.

Other things can also be used but Windex was the easiest thing and I had it on hand.

Yea, my Thanos had his gloves, boot and collar painted by airbrush spraying the acrylic paint that was the color I wanted. See here http://megomuseum.com/community/show...54#post1209554
