Airbrushing With Delta Ceramcoat

[Anonymous]

The Airbrush PSI thread reminded me of something I meant to ask...

My Pasche Single Action airbrush has been gathering dust for a few years, since I'm just getting back into modeling after a two year break caused by a cross-country move.

Livin' in the sticks here, I don't have good access to Floquil or Polly-S, but I can get my hands on Delta Ceramcoat acrylics. I've airbrushed with 'em before, with success, but I don't recall how much I used to thin 'em. They're thinker than Polly-S out of the bottle.

Also, those of you that airbrush with Ceramcoat - what are you using for a thinner? Anything besides tap water???

Thanks,

I have some Ceramic Type acrylics that I got from a lady that used to airbrush ceramics some years back. Distilled water and 70% alcohol seem to work o.k with these. I use them mainly for weathering.

As always, test your paints on some scrap material or junker railroad cars before doing an actual job.

Hope this helps!
