airbrush paints for foamies

[rickwallace45]

For my Styrofoam Formosa, I just used Testors spray paints for plastics -
came out ok. .well, it didn't eat the foam, anyway. 

I had more problems w/ the tape pulling up earlier paint than anything else
- even w/ the low tack blue painter's masking tape.

Hey Paul,

 

It's funny you should ask.  I just broke out my Paasche airbrush and started
back to learning so I could paint my foamies too.  I was told you could use
Createx t-shirt paint on the foamies just fine.  I get my paints at Hobby
Lobby or one of the big local art stores.  I'm sure there are loads of
websites to order paint from too.

 

Check out this website for a little inspiration:  www.airbrushfx.com

Hi all,

 

    Sorry to repeat this, but I am going to airbrush my next foamie and
wondered what everyone uses for paint.  There are a few acrylic paints that
are water clean up.  What do you thin them with?  Are they heavier?  Are
regular paints able to be used or do they eat the foam?  I have had a couple
people help out, but wanted a few more choises before I make my decision.
Also, I may buy a new airbrush, but want something that is affordable.  Any
ideas?  Thanks in advance.
