Low Luster Satin White Acrylic Airbrush Paint (8-oz)

At the time of writing this review, this paint color only has one other review, and the writer seems to have had a bad experience with this paint. In summary, I find this paint to be a great value provided it is used correctly. First, I have been airbrushing for a couple of years, and I very much enjoy trying out different paints, from your common go-to brands like Createx and Vallejo, to trying to airbrush hobby paints that are intended to be bristle-brushed painted on. I use US Art Supply's paint thinner, and when I saw this paint's lovely color shade and the review, my curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a bottle. In summary, this paint is great quality and so long as you use it right, it flows just fine through an airbrush and coats items nicely. Here's the biggest nuance: This paint may or MAY NOT be ready to spray straight from the bottle. It depends on your airbrush and compressor. Now, I use a Stealth 2 gallon compressor and have a variety of airbrushes, and two "cordless" airbrushes. My airbrushes have needle and nozzle sizes from 0.8 mm down to 0.2 mm. I can spray this paint straight from the bottle using any airbrush whose needle is 0.5 mm or bigger. For my airbrushes that have 0.3 mm or 0.2 mm needle/nozzles, I find adding just a little thinner to this paint makes it flow nicely. a 0.5:1 or even a 1:1 mix of this paint and thinner works well. For my cordless airbrushes, I add enough thinner to make this paint about the consistency of water, about a 1.5:1 or 2:1 mix of thinner and paint. So long as I thin this paint if needed, it flows beautifully and covers nicely. If you've got an airbrush with a smaller needle/nozzle and want this paint color (or a different one from US Art Supply), order a bottle of thinner to go with it. If you've got a larger needle/nozzle and aren't using a cordless compressor, then yes, you can pour this paint into your airbrush cup straight from the bottle and get excellent results. Blue is my favorite color and a favored color for base coats for me, and having this big bottle is nice. I can pour this paint straight into the cup of my TimberTech airbrush (0.8 mm needle/nozzle) and blast anything a lovely shade of blue that I point the airbrush at. I haven't tried finer line art with this paint yet but I am confident with a little thinner, I'll get great results. So, I gladly recommend this paint to beginners and pros alike. The pigment in this paint is very fine, so it's not just thinned craft hobby paint. Oh! I almost forgot to touch on messiness. This paint is water based, so it cleans up easily. After trying this paint through a few of my airbrushes, I pulled my gloves off, uncapped the bottle, smeared a little paint on my hand, waited a few minutes, then washed my hands. Even scrubbing under plain running water, 98% of the paint came right off my hands; Soap removed the rest. I'd imagine if you got this paint all over your hands then yes, it will make a mess but that's true of ANY paint.

Good product

Very pretty and a little goes a long way and dries quickly. Whether on paper or terra-cotta pots, it has a beautiful luster. You control the coverage. The container arrived well sealed, no leakage.

I just started painting models at an older age since I do resin prints now...I've tried about 4 other brands and always need thinner which is math job. Trying to figure out the thinning is a hit or miss, but this US Art Supply stuff is amazing...no more challenges to thin the paint. I have a 48psi small machine and its perfect...after drying it still looks amazing. Quality is outstanding

despite the description it is NOT airbrush ready and it still needs thinning to use on an airbrush with a .35mm needle at a pressure of between 15 to 25 psi (depending on if you are doing detail or broad coverage painting). However once you have found the right thinner to paint ration (a matter of trial and error) it does work very well.

Great paint for the value it's ready to spray but I recommend using a few drops of thinner drys with the perfect sheen durable and looks amazing the colors are rich and it cleans up in a snap it sprays very well and gives nice even coats and the bottles go a very long way and considering the price of tiny bottles at Hoby stores you can't beat the value for a high quality paint a must have for 3D printing projects and basically anything you want to paint no harsh fumes either over all great

Fast shipping with great quality paint.

What a time saver
