Model paints, yes. Just use the same brand thinner to dilute them properly. Other crafts paints, no.

Testors has a pretty good workshop site. Check them out.

You will have to pay $30 plus on internet sites and $60 plus at local hobby shops for your airbrush. For $30 or more, you have a lot of choices that are far better than the Testors 320. Unless it was a gift and costed you nothing.

I wish you to  have a very positive experience using the airbrush and hope that the 320 will not discourage you from learning and getting something better later. Ask here first before your next upgrade. Good luck and enjoy the 320 for now.

First, let me say that I don't own a Testors airbrush.  But, I know that there are people who hate them and others who love them.  Maybe cbaltrin has had a bad experience with one.  Anyway, don't pre-judge it.  Keep it clean, treat it with care, and play with it on some scrap plastic to get a feel for how it works. You may find that it does just fine for you.  If you have problems, come back and tell us 

about it, and I bet someone here can help you.
