JerB,
I have used these types of acrylic paints for almost twenty years on every type of scale model and railroads. I would highly reccomend any brand such as CreamCoat, AppleBarrel and such. At less than $2.00 per bottle at HobbyLobby and Walmart they are worth the money.
I mix them about 50/50 for airbrushing with Blue tint windshield wiper fluid and spray accordingly with whatever A/B you have at 25-30psi. My air source is a compressed air tank that I fill with a noisey compressor when needed.
Also, all acrylic hobby paints go against the "normal and exact matching mixed paints" that we see every modeler use. Nothing could be further from the truth,comparing any paint chart for military, aircraft, figure and railroad colors are available straight from the bottle. And here's a little known trick; the paint is used on ceramics, wood, acrylic caulking and jst about any other surface you like. And, using a hand-held hair dryer set on LOW heat will set up and dry the paint to a hard surface that has to be scratched from the plastic to use CA glue!
The norm in my opinion is not to be followed all the time, buy several colors and try them as I suggested, also keep in mind there is no odor, no mess and most of all the toxic level will not kill you like with oils and thinner-based paint.
Try them, you may never go back. Also they brush on very nicely as well with or without water for thinning.
The best,
