Anybody carries Army Painter spray can in America ?
I would like to get the red . Anybody has tried to airbrush the GW colors ? if yes how ?

GW paints require a bit of thinning before you can airbrush with them. I don't recall what mixture works best but thinning is best done by eyeball anyway.

The best thing I have found to mix wit hGW and Reaper paints is Flowquil flow improver.

GW is not well suited for airbrush, the pigment is too big. Even if highly thinned (90% thinner, 10% paint) it will block eventually the airbrush and it takes time much more clearing it.

I tried some years ago and still regret it.

For airbrush just use Tamiya or Vallejo air.

I'm still asleep this morning. I meant: "takes much more time clearing it".

I have used Vallejo to airbrush through my single action Paasche airbrush.

Fom memory I must have watered it down a bit! You can always use Acrylic medium rather than water.

I've run GW paints through a Badger dual-action. I mixed it upwell, strained in through and old nylon, and then thinned it down. I didn't have any problems. Kevin

I've not had any problems using foundry paints through my dual action brush. I understand that foundry is "rumoured" to have the same problems as GW – i've just not encountered them…

I've sprayed Vallejo game color through my airbrush. One of these days I'll try GW, but lots of people have successsfully pushed paint throigh their setups. BTW, I use a Paasche double action. I use the large tip on mine, as I use these paints ONLY for basecoating…
