amrogers3 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Anyone tried airbrushing the new Citadel paints? I was told if you airbrush them, they turn out chalky. If you have used them in an airbrush, I would like to hear your experience with them and get your feedback. Thanks!

Mazer Rackham Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just thin them the way you would any normal paint, the Base paints moreso, as they are concentrated. The Base, Layers and Glazes all airbrush through my .35mil nozzle fine. MR. +EDIT+ Bah - my airbrush is .35 mil...3.5 mils is the size of a flamethrower!

Brother Lorien Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Placed this in another thread aswell: IT depends mostly which color you use and what the pigmentation is, also if your using the old paints or the new ones. I have tried using them with a 0.3mm nozzle , but only the inks/washes work , the normal paints tend to clog up the nozzle, which might be because they dry to fast. I find Vallejo paints -both the model as the air color- better for airbrushing.

Freakiq Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I thin them with water and acetone and they work great, even the more heavily pigmented ones. Sprayed all my Space Wolf vehicles with The Fang and Fenrisian Grey and got a smooth coat.

amrogers3 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks for your replies. Comparing the widely used paint brands such as Vallejo Model, Vallejo Game, P3, or the new Citadel paints used for 40K minis. Of those I listed, is any brand easier to use in an airbrush? Of course, excluding those paints that are designed for airbrush such as Vallejo Air.

Kronus Stormbringer Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I've used the new citadel paints and Vallejo Model colour paints, i thin both 1:1 using water/matt medium mix however judging from recent experience i'll only be using the Vallejo paints in the future. The dropper bottles make it easy to measure paint for mixing as well as the fact you get almost 1/3 more paint in a vallejo pot than you do Citadel.
