Acrylic Airbrush Paints for Modeling

The Common Mistake: Using Brush Paints with an Airbrush

In modeling, it is common to use paints designed for brushes, then dilute them for application with an airbrush. However, this practice causes significant issues because these paints are not engineered to flow smoothly through the fine nozzles of airbrushes.

The Difference Between Brush Paints and Airbrush Paints

A true airbrush paint cannot be applied with brushes because it is formulated completely differently. Airbrush paints are designed with specific technical features to ensure optimal performance.

Key Features of Airbrush Paints

Optimal Fluidity

True water-based acrylic airbrush paint has a specific fluidity that comes not from the amount of water but from the formula created in the factory. These paints are ready to use and require no dilution.

Suitable for Fine Nozzles

Airbrush paints can be used with airbrushes featuring 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm nozzles without requiring dilution, allowing for the creation of fine lines as thin as hair without compromising quality.

Water-Based Thinners

These paints can be diluted with their specific water-based thinners to produce consistent, ultra-fine lines without color buildup on the airbrush tip.

Fast Drying

Acrylic airbrush paints dry very quickly, enabling the use of masking tape immediately after application for maximum versatility.

Primers and Clears for Airbrush Use

Sandable Primers

Once dry, acrylic primers for airbrush use can be sanded with 800-grit dry sandpaper, demonstrating exceptional durability.

Kustomservice's Expertise in Modeling

For over 20 years, Kustomservice has refined its line of airbrush paints. While many companies produce brush paints that are then diluted, Kustomservice has always developed paints specifically for airbrushes, delivering extraordinary performance for airbrushes and professional spray guns.

Thin and Durable Paints for Modeling

Another crucial factor of Kustomservice products is the thinness of the paint, essential for achieving a flawless finish in modeling. Our paints do not create thickness, making them ideal for painting airplanes, cars, tanks, or models like Gundam figures.
