Im trying out the ppg envirobase paint .... any tips on thinning, im shooting it with a paasche vision ( talon) ......
I have a lot of vallejo acrylics that I use for models and miniatures. I have, on occasion, thinned them and sprayed them through my airbrush (thinned with 80% distilled water, 20% alcohol, mixed with a bit of medium retarder and flow-aid), but for the airbrush I tend to use createx paints, when thinning those I tend to use just distilled water, occasionally ill use same mixture I use for my vallejo's. Mostly I use Wicked, and Wicked detail, but I have some of the regular createx paints as well.
Well if you had made an introduction telling us how long you have been airbrushing, what type of work you do as far as what you paint it would be much easier to offer advice http://www.airbrushforum.org/introductions/I want to buy some but not sure which set to go for. I hope this isn't deemed a foolish question, I would just like to know.

Being financially challenged I use bottom of the barrel craftsmart paint from Michaels. Seems to work fine for dots, lines and dagger stroke practice.

Oh, is that what you mean "telling something about yourself"? Sheesh, I and here thought you were talking about my non-existent sex life, and that's why I left it blank. Ok. I'll try again . . . . .Well if you had made an introduction telling us how long you have been airbrushing, what type of work you do as far as what you paint it would be much easier to offer advice http://www.airbrushforum.org/introductions/
What? Why I hardly know what you could mean sir. I am but a genteel and naive little flower, as pure and innocent as the day is long *flutters eyelashes*, a sweet and unworldy little cherub, and butter wouldn't melt in my mouth.
PPG is awesome. Just hard to get in small amounts.I been using Wicked a lot but just started using PPG Envirobase. I used PPG Deltron system for years and it's a great automotive airbrush paint but the Envirobase is really impressing me. It's more problematic than than the solvent Deltron system but it's just the typical learning curve from going from solvent to waterborne automotive paints. If you like Wicked you would probably love PPG Envirobase.

I have been introduced to PPG WB about a year ago. Mixing colors is basic, cutting to reduce or stretch without losing quality or getting spidery with water is a no brainer. It is such a great product, but mostly geared towards the auto collision industry. Finding dealers who will mix up pints of basic colors is hard. They work off of the auto code color numbers system to match car paints. I tried several times contacting PPG to inquire about a way to get the paint for the art industry with no replies. I'm hoping that sometime or sooner they will make artists a part of their business . I will be finding out more about this in about a month. I have a meeting set up with a friend who is diehard user of the product. I wish a PPG rep would contact me I know I could et so many artists to check this product out with pleasant results. The solvent product is widely used and remarkable for many solvent based uses and businesses , but I want to use Enviro Water Based.Im trying out the ppg envirobase paint .... any tips on thinning, im shooting it with a paasche vision ( talon) ......
