Not sure if this is common knowledge but it's possible to use the acrylic bottle paints in a airbrush. So if you have a color you like and want to paint a larger area or just want to eliminate brush marks this is an option.
First I'll state that my airbrush is a Testor one where you put the paint in a small jar that screw onto the airbrush.
Second is that I've only done this with Ceramcoat paints.
Fill the jar with a mix of 50/50 paint and Windex. Shake well. The first few time I did this and used it right away it plugged up the airbrush but then I let the mix sit overnight, giving it a shake now and then and the next day it worked without plugging up.
The mix is thin and you will probably need a couple of coats but you get a nice smooth look.
