ANOTHER PAINT QUESTION

beginner-James

Mac-Valve Maestro!
Evening air brusher
I have bought the Golden high flow kit
also the Wicked metallic kit

I would like to start mixing my own colours is there a transparent airbrush paint in PANTON YELLOW, CYAN, AND MAGENTA.
Also I have found a paint mixing bible that looks really good. The main reason I would like a yellow orca but the nearest colour in the high flow oxidised yellow I think

For your Golden paints just buy the Golden transparent medium, don't know about about wicked stuff, ive never used it.
 
Do not forget black...you will be mixing what is a 4 color process. CMYK...K means black and it is a true black....
I have spent the last 35 years as a commercial printing press operator. My bible was the Pantone Matching System. It is really different for me when I start mixing and color matching using airbrush paint, but the principles are the same.

I've been on amazon but I cant find a trans tinners would you post a link please malky
thank you James

you're not looking for trans thinners, you need to look for Golden transparent medium or as Husky said, you can use Golden airbrush medium, neither medium thins you're paint, it makes it transparent without losing viscosity, for thinning just use water.
This is what you need

think about this stuff like this:
reducer is reducer no sc-fi here.
transparent medium or base or whatever is called at different color dealers is color without color.

so for example:
u take red color and add 10% transparent base = 10% more transparent color - but you didn't reduce that color
add 30% transparent base = 30 more transparent color - you need more passes then if you add only 10% to get the same saturation - and you still didn't reduce that color.

in both cases you still need to add reducer to get good flow with your airbrush.
 
It’s been renamed as high flow extender...yea, drove me nuts trying to find it few weeks back
This stuff is what you add to the golden Fluid acrylic (not the Golden High Flow) to make it suitable for the airbrush.
 
well after searching and searching I came up with this I hope it's right as I have ordered it but I do have about 4 hrs to cancel it please please be the right stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005SBHCH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if not please let me know ASAP and I will have to stop order
if not right please point me to a uk supplier to order

forever thankful
James
Yup... remember, that is not a reducer... it is for making the Golden High Flow Opaque transparent and the transparent more so. :)
