                        So far I've not had to airbrush anything white! Thank God.

                        Has anybody every noticed that the color white in acrylics seems to be the worst covering color of them all? I think I have a bottle of every manufacturer's white paint. none of them seem to cover well as far as brushing, often requireing three or more coats. Weird!

                        Am I alone with this problem?

                        No
                        White, acrylic or enamel don't cover well at all.
                        Yellow is almost as bad.
                        I always lay a layer, let it dry, lay down another layer and let it dry.
                        I may go thru 6 or 7 spray sessions before I have the coverage I'm looking for.

                        White, yellow and red IMO are the worst covering colors. Best lay down a coat of white primer or Mr. Base White prior to brushing those colors on.
