Hello to all I am sure this Question has been addressed already but I have to ask. I am having a whale of a time trying to brush paint so I switched over to my air brush and its still bad not sure what I am doing wrong paint goes on either to thin or to thick and I do prime all of my models before painting should I not mix paints such as 1 paint being an enamel while the other is Acrylic painted on or near or over each other. am at a loss can paint go bad?
Painting and masking have always being rough for me.
any ideas would be helpful thanks

can paint go bad?
It most certainly can go bad, through ageing and especially if it ever goes frozen and then rethawed.
Paint for airbrushing should be thinned with a compatible thinner to the consistancy of milk. You need watch your spray pressure too. I always have the best luck at around 26lbs with my compressor. If your using Alclad, I find you must drop the pressure to around 5lbs.
