How do I choose the right airbrush paint type for my project?
Choosing the right airbrush paint is much easier when you match it to your surface and project needs. For plastic models or art on paper, go with acrylic airbrush paints—they’re water-based, low odor, and clean up easily. If you’re painting clothing, fabric airbrush paints are flexible and permanent. For automotive work or surfaces that need extra durability, urethane paints are best. Enamel paints work great for models and miniatures thanks to their glossy, chemical-resistant finish. If you want quick-drying, see-through color (perfect for illustrations or glass), try alcohol-based ink. Always consider where and how your artwork will be used, and check the product description for recommended surfaces.
