Like Vric said, compound will take out the OP. But I really do not want to be componding every little thing I spray!

Awesome! You problably wont have to thin it since it already comes from can. Or not? I will try to start experimenting with acrylics next week. I have been shooting some createx water based paints through the airbrush thus far. Unfortunately i got sick again (New Jersey weather sucks!) so no airbrush for today, maybe tomorrow, and most likely sunday
I still haven't found the smaller color cups for my airbrush around here, this leaves me with no other option other than going to Chinatown NYC where i bought the airbrush which is a really large store but its quite a hassle to get there since its in NYC!(NYC traffice is the worst!) Oh and i see what you guys mean about these 2oz bottles. I have wasted soo much paint that its not even funny! Its soo hard to clean too, because the paint goes on the little bumps and you have to clean it with your fingers one by one. And if you don't clean it properly the other color you place in there will have some of the previous color in it!!!
But the good thing is that im getting the hang of the airbrush. I actually really like it alot better than spray paint. One more question, see how you warm cans up so the paint flows better, Do you warm the paint your going to use on your airbrush?
PS: Martbee, i wish i could get those results that you get with your airbrush on my previously built models which i painted with spray paints. You have no idea how much i had to polish
