    So a good way to get true 50/50 is to use displacement. Put the thinner in first and measure to something like 1 or 2 millimeters. Then squeeze in your acrylic. 50/50 will raise the fluid level to twice what it was.

    I have been using acrylic art paints (liquitex, golden, W&N, etc) for 25 years. All paints adhere to the plastic perfectly, no primer is needed. The best thinner is distilled water and grain alcohol (40/60) and a few drops of delimonene. mixes easily.

    On a side note, you really should have more than two supports for each of those wide shelves. I’d do 4. Especially since they fell. You don’t need poles or anything, just more vertical rails and more under shelf supports. There should be more studs in between the rails you already mounted to add more rails. :)

    Rather than a paint mixer like that Badger handheld blender you have, I just mixed it by hand with a brush thoroughly and then funneled it into a dropper bottle with ball bearings and put that on my vortex mixer for a bit and let the ball bearings finish smoothing it out.

    Thanks very much for this video! I've recently been trying Golden Airbrush Medium alone to thin down craft acrylics and Vallejo Game Color for airbrushing. Now I'll have to try it with an old tube of Liquitex I've had sitting around for years. The Golden stuff is a bit expensive, but it supposedly already has a flow improver added and doesn't break down the acrylic polymers. The downside is that it seems to take at least 24 hours for complete drying to happen; but I tend to put down layers of paint that are too heavy due to my ineexperience (or lack of patience).

    One of the things you need to look for when using artist's acrylics is opacity which is listed on the label somewhere. (Especially the yellows. Yellow is a difficult color to deal with.) Most that I've seen are translucent and will require multiple coats to get the full depth of color you're expecting.

    A quick note; ALL tube acrylics are first ground pigments or dye based colors with acrylic binders when manufactured, they then add a thickening agent (some paint companies sell it as an impasto additive). When you try to airbrush tube acrylics, you NEED to add medium (acrylic binder) as reducing tube acrylics without the binders only weaken the paint.

      The strength in acrylic paints is the binder, end of story. Everything else is an additive, such as surface tension reducers, retarders, tints/pigments and thickening agents. Adding just water to a thick tube acrylic, just weakens it. My company manufactured pigment base acrylic airbrush paints since 1993 until I retired. In art school back in the late 60's my one teacher tried to show us how to use an airbrush and he mixed water with tube acrylic ... down side was when you applied masking film it lifted off parts of the sprayed acrylic.

      @@airbrushken5339 I've not questioned your expertise - as you have not mentioned your background before - I only meant that if I spray or paint with acrlyics, and the finished product is hard and sticks, what more do I want from the paint? It's not going to fall of the canvas suddenly 4 weeks after. 😉 Sure, if you scientifically approach it, of course a dilution is never as strong as the original - that's obvious. But if it's hard and ready, it's done for the most purposes?! Isn't it? How many billion paintings exist in this world only painted with acrlyics and god knows how much dilution by water. We would have noticed by now to not use only water if it was such a big problem in the resulting works.
      Do you think/or know from experience is there acrylic binder in e.g. Thinners? And flow improvers? That would be interesting.

      @@jelly8594 No they don't add binders to thinners. I used to buy 44 gal (55 gal USA) drums of binder and it's pretty thin, as most companies add agents to it after.
      If you don't add, you'll notice that the pigment settles to the bottom of the bottle quickly. The issue using water is not paint falling off, it's more the issue; "you paint a model and after you base coat it with the primary colour you wanted and it looks fine, you then "back mask" over the base, to paint detailing and when you remove the masking it can lift the paint... I have seen it happen while teaching both in the USA and here in Australia. I've even seen different brands not stick to one another. I had a major art piece with a "Pan Head" Harley motor for a magazine (almost two weeks work) and the base colours was liquitex acrylic paints which came out in the mid 50's over which I airbrush highlights and detailed shadows with "Doc Martin" airbrush acrylics. which lifted when I removed the masking film. My feeling is you spend so much money on the model and then so many hours, but cry about the price of the paint. Been there and done that ... I'm not putting people down, I'm saying that you need to consider all the information. I read many other posts and many seemed happy with the ideas. I was also a technical advisor to most of the airbrush equipment importers here... being an old Vietnam Veteran (101st Airborne) I sometimes come across a bit "gruff". (9 years US Army, Sargent)... but I mean well. Be safe...

    Suggestion - You might consider glueing/mounting neobidium type magnet(s) to the bottom of that “Amazon” airbrush holder, for use with a metallic type plate/base on your workbench. Provides a firm, yet moveable/relocatable holder type installation. Also, Thanks for the filter material link.
    P.S. very nice and extensive “work” location/set up.👍

    I really want a Badger paint stirrer now.
    Seriously though, I'm impressed by those results, especially the difference in the copper over different primers. I'm planning a wargaming project where I _might_ want to basecoat everything with burnt sienna. If I do, I might want to head to the pound shop and buy a tube if it (same tube as those Artist's Touch basic paints) for 99p, instead of using up my tiny £6 bottle of Liquitex burnt sienna ink...

    As always, awesome advice. The hobby is spendy enough and if you can save money without sacrificing too much, all the better. Any thoughts on doing a video about other alternatives for stuff like varnish? I know a lot of car guys use Pledge Floor Polish in place of gloss (a big no-no in some circles)? As far as these paints go, I am curious about the true color of the pigmentation. Some paints don't have pure pigments and so using kindergarten color theory can lead you astray. Did you happen to get curious and see if you could customize the colors a bit?

    That craft acrylic in tubes really comes up well and the fact you can blend the colors to make whatever color you like is a winner. Will the addition of flow medium make the finish more glossy or will I still need a gloss coat on cars to get a decent finish. Also thanks for the link for the filter rolls for the booth. Just what I was after. You are the best modeling resource on RUclips.

It says on their website something like 50psi and 0.3-0.5mm needle+nozzle. I have mixed them with Vallejo paints and varnishes with no problem for hand-brushing. I would assume that they would work with other Vallejo products like the airbrush thinner, but I haven't tried airbrushing them yet. Your alternative paints series is the perfect platform to test them. Thanks for making such a great series, your videos are awesome.

    Another great video! Really appreciate all this content and your engagement with your viewers.
    2 questions for ya:
    1) why did you other using your home made thinner vs the windshield fluid. Between low cost and low effort (no need to periodically mix new batches) I'd think you choose the windshield fluid
    2) I've tried various acrylics through that portable NONAME compressor/brush and it often clogs and splutters.... Do you think it's a deficiency of the airbrush quality or just unavoidable with a 0.3mm needle and such a small compressor?

    • @barbatosrex9473
      @barbatosrex9473  3 года назад +2

      The windshield fluid is really a cheap quick fix. The home made thinner is better overall to use. It promotes a slower drying time which helps with leveling the paint off and it also helps with lubricating the airbrush itself which in turn helps with tip dry.
      The portable airbrush just doesn't have the strength to push out thicker pigment rich paint like the tube acrylics. The paint has to be a very thin type to get pushed through.. That's why it works great with lacquers. Try thinning it out a bit more.. Have you tried holding the button on the bottom of it? The switches the compressor to a low and high mode

I saw that you used that $14 0.3 mm airbrush for your first craft paint video so I've been thinking the .3 that comes with the NONAME should work too, but it's very tricky, often won't spray anything even though no obvious tip dry or clog.
      What PSI were you using there (was it just more than the little compressor can do?)? I HAVE noticed my expensive Iwata somehow can do a little better... What's better about the Iwata that lets it push the thicker paint?

      I wonder if your thinner recipe would let it flow better than windshield fluid, but is it going to take even LONGER to paint because it dries slower?
