In summary, I find this paint to be a great value provided it is used correctly. First, I have been airbrushing for a couple of years, and I very much enjoy trying out different paints, from your common go-to brands like Createx and Vallejo, to trying to airbrush hobby paints that are intended to be bristle-brushed painted on. I use US Art Supply's paint thinner, and when I saw this paint's lovely color shade and the review, my curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a bottle. In summary, this paint is great quality and so long as you use it right, it flows just fine through an airbrush and coats items nicely. Here's the biggest nuance: This paint may or MAY NOT be ready to spray straight from the bottle. It depends on your airbrush and compressor. Now, I use a Stealth 2 gallon compressor and have a variety of airbrushes, and two "cordless" airbrushes. My airbrushes have needle and nozzle sizes from 0.8 mm down to 0.2 mm. I can spray this paint straight from the bottle using any airbrush whose needle is 0.5 mm or bigger. For my airbrushes that have 0.3 mm or 0.2 mm needle/nozzles, I find adding just a little thinner to this paint makes it flow nicely. a 0.5:1 or even a 1:1 mix of this paint and thinner works well. For my cordless airbrushes, I add enough thinner to make this paint about the consistency of water, about a 1.5:1 or 2:1 mix of thinner and paint. So long as I thin this paint if needed, it flows beautifully and covers nicely. If you've got an airbrush with a smaller needle/nozzle and want this paint color (or a different one from US Art Supply), order a bottle of thinner to go with it. If you've got a larger needle/nozzle and aren't using a cordless compressor, then yes, you can pour this paint into your airbrush cup straight from the bottle and get excellent results. Blue is my favorite color and a favored color for base coats for me, and having this big bottle is nice. I can pour this paint straight into the cup of my TimberTech airbrush (0.8 mm needle/nozzle) and blast anything a lovely shade of blue that I point the airbrush at. I haven't tried finer line art with this paint yet but I am confident with a little thinner, I'll get great results. So, I gladly recommend this paint to beginners and pros alike. The pigment in this paint is very fine, so it's not just thinned craft hobby paint. Oh! I almost forgot to touch on messiness. This paint is water based, so it cleans up easily. After trying this paint through a few of my airbrushes, I pulled my gloves off, uncapped the bottle, smeared a little paint on my hand, waited a few minutes, then washed my hands. Even scrubbing under plain running water, 98% of the paint came right off my hands; Soap removed the rest. I'd imagine if you got this paint all over your hands then yes, it will make a mess but that's true of ANY paint. Review: Awesome deep black - I just started painting models at an older age since I do resin prints now...I've tried about 4 other brands and always need thinner which is math job. Trying to figure out the thinning is a hit or miss, but this US Art Supply stuff is amazing...no more challenges to thin the paint. I have a 48psi small machine and its perfect...after drying it still looks amazing.
