Airbrush paint

[Wylde Blaze]

Hi there!
I'm new to airbrushing. I've done a little lately, but had a cheap airbrush. I just bought the Badger Crescendo and am interested in sheer or transluscent paint. I'm a metal artist. My website is Wylde Blaze Artistic Designs-Unique Garden and Wall Art!. Anyways, can anyone tell me what kind of paint you think this guy used? He told me that it's transparent car paint, but I can't find anything like it online. Any ideas would be great!
Thank you!
Diane

Hard to tell ........but it looks cool. Jim

[Wylde Blaze]

I agree. I think that some of my pieces would look great with that kind of paint. Thanks!

I am unable to help with the paint name but still want to welcome you, your web site is nice

[Wylde Blaze]

Thank you! I'm hoping that I can improve my airbrushing which will make a huge differences in my pieces! The art you are all posting is amazing! I hope to get half that good someday!

Wylde, it might be House of Kolor or Auto Air. Although I'm not aware that they have "translucent" but you can get "transparent" or "candies" which are even more transparent.

Thank you! They both look like they might work, as well. Someone also suggested Hot Hues and their Hot Candy Colors. Thank you for your advise! I need to try them and see which one is going to give the best effect.
I appreciate your help.

That could also be testors enamel paint. (Not acrylic) They have those real little (1/4 oz I think) bottles of metallic colors like jade green, saffire and burgundy etc. If you thin them way down they'll look like that on metal.

You can get it at most any decent hobby store.

Well, I used Auto Air Purple Candy for my latest project. Hearts for my mom for mothers day. I used straight purple candy for the large heart and mixed that purple candy with bada bling silver sparkle and white to get the lavender sparkle for the smaller heart. I love the candies! My website is Wylde Blaze Artistic Designs-Unique Garden and Wall Art! to see the rest of my stuff. I'll definitely switch to candies for all of my pieces from now on.

Welcome to the forum Wylde!

Nice website, I really dig the Portfolio page. Your work is really original, The baby pirate especially rocks, that would be a sweet avatar. I also like the purple candy heart. I am a bit partial to candies though, Ever since I started painting I have been addicted to the candies

[Wylde Blaze]

Thanks, Oz! Yeah, I'm pretty much addicted to the candies now. I made an apple for my sons teacher for her end of year gift and used the bright red candy for the first time. They are aptly named. This apple truly looks like candy! As soon as I can get a great pic I'll post it. I know my airbrushing is nothing like all of yours, but I'm very new and am anxious to learn.
The baby pirate is one of my favorites. She turned out great!
Thanks!

Welcome Wylde nice little site you got there. I wont say anthing over paint as I am only a novice, still sucking my thumb so to speak. But I am sure that you will get the info that you are looking for. Plenty of helpful people around here. Oh yeah like the fish very tribal.

[Cameron Arts]

Welcome to the forum, Diane. I love that cradle you made! AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your site. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[Wylde Blaze]

Thank you for your compliments! Here's the red candy apple. I'm lovin' these candies!

Sorry Im late...I somehow missed this post ..
Welcome first...very nice work...keep posting I love that work.

Everyone seemed to guide you right ...it was transparent paint
Pretty much the same method used in ground metal painting...here are a couple of refs I have in stock for ground metal....

[Wylde Blaze]

Those tiki's are amazing! They look so great on the ground metal. Is all of that airbrushed or is some of it pin striped? Like the black outlines? I want that kind of talent. I am really not very good at the details, so I end up doing a lot of taping. Do you?
Thanks!

I think both are DENNIS MATHEWSON of Cosmic airbrush.....hes a great guy..[very helpful to others].heres his site: COSMIC AIRBRUSH
holler at him and Im sure if hes around he will tell ya how he does them...

That is pinstipe for borders...


I dont tape much, I get too many cuts, and places that dont line up right...
I should take some time to learn masking better...its a plus in alot of airbrush work...
