So, I think I'm going to jump back into airbrushing and I have quite a few of the Vallejo Model Air paints. I remember when I was using them that my airbrush always seem to clog.

Any noob tips to help mitigate that? Some kind of flow improver?

Thanks

Vallejo flow improver has been my go to secret sauce to, kind of obviously, improve the flow of acrylics. I add two drops directly into the cup and away we go. Works great especially for when I want to use VMC or GW paints.

thin them .I use Tamiya all the time and I always thin then by another 25% of volume with demineralised wat, and then very seriously stuff.

Supposedly, the Model Air paints come pre-thinned for airbrushing.

But if they still clog your brush, a bit more thinning won't hurt. Plus it depends on nozzle size too.
