Our favorite airbrush paints are Createx brand opaque airbrush paints. The colors are true to shade, do not clog, and clean easily.
Our favorite airbrush is the Vega series from Thayer & Chandler Airbrushes. The larger fluid nozzle prevents clogs and the airbrush is easy to clean.
We use a 1/5 hp airbrush compressor. It is powerful enough so that paint thinning is not necessary. Use most airbrush paints straight out the bottle. Which means bolder and brighter colors.
