Ashdown Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's becoming harder to find Vallejo Model Air paints for me. The last ones I bought were old and didn't have a great consistency. So I went to an art store in Seattle and found Golden and Com*Art with a pretty decent color range. No metallics, but you can buy 4oz bottles for 9$. Just seeing if anyone had used them before I make the investment. From what I have read from illustrators they are top quality, however, that doesn't always mean they will be great for minis. Thanks... Ash Com*Art Colors Golden Color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boramar Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You can still use the normal Vallejo paints just thin them with windex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashdown Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 You can still use the normal Vallejo paints just thin them with windex. Yea I do that with all my game colors, however, I am doing more and more with my airbrush and find the pre thinned paints to be nice for regular brush applications. I am basically just lazy and I am tired of mixing. I use Golden. Very happy with them. Thanks man, I went ahead and bought one of both and Ill see how they do. Thanks again.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've always found the Vallejo AIR line to be totally over-rated and unreliable... but the regular Vallejo as Boramar states are really nice, especially the Vallejo Model colors, its really not much more work either. I've used Com-ARt, Golden and Createx acrylic airbrush paints and discovered that with each of them - they are just too fragile for this work. Unless you plan to do some heavy varnishing between colors it's not worth it... that was my experience anyway. All 3 of those brands I bought in a large batch when I got my first airbrush and used them exclusively until I eventually tried actual miniature paint... yeah you have to thin but it's definitely better - for our purpose.
