Paint

I just used some paint from Cobra Colors. It came in a nice size bottle and was pre-thinned. Does anyone know of a source for pre-thinned paint in the colors we use most? For example flat and semi-gloss black, white, clear coats etc. I hate having to thin my paints before airbrushing. Thanks

Why not buy the paint you like, and some extra bottles, then just thin it out to the consistency you want and keep it handy in the extra bottles? I bet it would be cheaper than buying pre-mixed too... - Mark

Re: Paint

Absolutely, that is what I do with my most commonly used colours like white, black and primer.

I agree. I'm a novice, but I soon worked out that mixing up a few pots of semi gloss black and thinner, and storing in spare airbrush jars is a hell of a lot quicker then mixing when you need it.

Airbrush jars are cheap anyhow..
