Proper ratio for Lifecolor acrylic paint in airbrush?

[Reddogfive]

Hi guys.

I'm getting back into airbrushing.

Just bought some Lifecolor paint.

It is an acrylic paint from Italy.

Any idea what the ration of water to paint should be to get good airbrush
coverage?

Cheers, Reddog

We distribute it and I use it on my models. Suggest you use distilled water
with a ratio of at least 40% water. If the paint is thick in the bottle, use
45 or 50%. Test spray first and adjust if necessary.

Be careful handling the model for the first 24 hours after painting. If you
are making armour kits, do your wash before clear coating. The paint will
absorb the wash. I really like the results.
