Hi all
just a quick question is it at all possible to use the acrylic paint that comes in tubes in an airbrush by thinning it down???

Yes you can. Just thin it down with water until cosistency is in between a melted shake and whole milk. Shake the living heck out of it. Strain it a few times. Now you can paint. I do not know how long it will last if you use it on t-shirts for sure. But I did a few like that in the begining and Ironed them a few times with wax paper and those shirts lasted for years. Test things out and you will be ok.

Hi Brad
Thanks for the reply its just being a newbie to this i am just trying to find out all the tricks of what will work and what wont as i tried poster paints and then was told that the particles were too big for the airbrush.
