What , you can't buy your own pantyhose? Heck, you don't really want pantyhose, just thigh-high's will do (you're after the gauzy part anyway). Hey, if you're man enough to buy toy planes and cars and such, you can be man enough to buy hosery. If it's that hard, drive cross-town and keep your sunglasses on...

Hmm... pantyhose, you say? That sounds like a good idea. I tried airbrushing with ceramacoat the other day and it come out disaterous. Now, I wonder if I can get my wife to go buy me some pantyhose...? Money says I won't be making that particular statement again.

I don't think you really need to add any soap. The exact mixture will depend on your airbrush and pressure used. You'll have to play around. Basically you're going to have to do a bit of trial and error testing. I'd start with 70-30 and add more paint until you get coverage you're happy with.

My suggestion for Delta Ceramcoat is to thin with Future and put the solution through women's hose to strain out the large pigment chunks. The easiest way to do this is to put a square of the hose over the threads of a squeeze bottle and then put the cap back on.

THWACK!!! right on top of the head. Sorry could resist Big Smile [:D]Whistling [:-^]

Like Luis said you can spray just about anything through an airbrush. Try automotive uros sometime. Now that's fun and the effects are very cool. I've used the Delta ceramacoat matte varnish before but didn't have good luck with it. Doesn't mean anything though, it was probably bad technique.

Milk jugs! They make great practice targets. Compound curves and fairly flat surfaces! If you do use acrylics, they can be washed off with ammonia products, like Windex.

So long folks!

i guess you could use that as long as it is thinned properly, u can basically use any paint on an airbrush. if you want to practice with that then go ahead. as long as your paint and old model are worth the sacrifice!Wink [;)] practice makes perfectApprove [^]
