Airbrush help again

[Adam Quennoz]

You'll want to use the finer needle for thinner paints.  For the paints you are using go ahead and try them like they are.  If you have trouble spraying then thin them down 50:50 with water.  Don't go too thin as the Acrylics will become transparent and runny.

  Hi all,

      I am new to airbrushing and need some help again.  My airbrush is a Harbor Freight dual action, internal mix.  It comes with two needles, a .35mm and a .25mm.  Which one should be used with acrylic paints?  I would think the .25mm is better for thicker paints and would guess the acrylic paints come out thicker than enamels.  Is this correct?  Also, how thin should I try to mix acrylics?  Any and al help would be appreciated.  I am trying to airbrush a foamie and would like to create something a little different.  Maybe a custom look like George Hick did for the E-TOC.  Thanks in advance.
