Airbrush Paint for Plastics

And don't forget to use a good filter/ water separator behind that regulator.  Clean air without moisture in it works much better than dirty air with drops of suspended water in it.

The type of paint is a personal choice and really will depend on you.
It takes practice to get the feel of the paints and thinner
combinations.  As for an air brush, I would stay away from the lower
cost ones and purchase a mid-range priced one.  I prefer metal bodied
brushes with cleanable parts and interchangeable tips.  Stay away from
the plastic ones and those with the disposable tips.  Use an air
compressor with a good quality regulator and make sure you have good
ventilation.

Hope this helps.

Painters,

While I'm not new to modeling or painting, I am new to air brushing.
Could you as a veteran recommend a brand of paints and thinner for a
novice?
How about a brand of air brush? I'm thinking about starting with a
single
action brush. Comments?

Steam on,
