Badger Opaque Paints

[mawilbolou]

Hi there...
I am quite new to airbrushing and have followed you tutorials which
are great!
I have been given a set of Badger Opaque paints. And would like to use them on either a Helmet which I have prepped, or a tank which I have also aquired.

I realise that these opaque paints are generally for illustraion boards, acetate etc etc, but I wondered if I could get away with using them on the helmet or tank i have described. I am looking in to buying auto-air paints, but seeing as I got them for nothing... I would love to do at least use my free paints.
Is this an absolute negative? or could I get away with it seeing as I am practising and they are free

Thanks for any help

Matt!

It works with all acrilic paints. You shouldn't get any problem because acrylics are neutral with other products.
Just be sure to dry it correctly before to clear it

Great!!! Do you happen to know what lacquer is good to put over the top, when I am done?
Acrylic lacquer I am guessing??
