American (Brand) -DecoArt- Acrylic Paint

[cyberborg 4000]

How can you thin these paints to use with the Airbrush. And can they be
thinned by using regular Alcohol like the kind you get from the Drug
Store. I would like to spray some green paint onto a few dried flower
things to make them look more like foliage for a diorama.

I have a lot of these paints I like to from time to time use them on
those plaster
Cast Buildings for 1/35 scale Dioramas.

I have had some success with using them on these and want to see if I
can also use
them for painting the foliage stuff.

I hope some of you can help me out here

thanks very much

You bet they can be airbrushed. I have good results thinning with a
little water and mostly 70% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. They need
to be pretty thin to not clog up on your your airbrush tip. Also try
some of the extender they sell for the paint. I think they even have
a product now that says it is a thinner for airbrushing.

I would strain it through a nylon stocking stretched over the cup to
catch any chunks.

I found that thinning with water only it tends to spray a little
"spattery" and clogs the tip a lot., and with the alcohol it feathers
out better and doesn't clog as much.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!
