Thinning and AB care

Needle lube (Badger Regdab or Iwata-Medea Super Lube) or glycerin can be applied to the front third of the needle and that may help. Proper cleaning is a must to prevent it.

Thinning household latex paint is not recommended by the manufacturer. It is not designed to be sprayed through such a small nozzle. There is a product called Floetrol, but it is unlikely that it will thin it enough for your use. I would stick to crafter's paint, or use a normal paint brush.

Bill (Bgrigg) is essentially correct. While you can thin household "latex" paints slightly for application through paint sprayers and guns, using them in an airbrush is not advised. The paint system simply wasn't designed for that. The pigments are too coarse, for a start, and it gets worse from there.

You will have much better luck using paints intended for application through an air brush. 

I agree with both Bill and Ross. However, if you were absolutely set on using latex, you would have to thin as best you could with Bill's suggested thinner. Then you would have to spray it at textile paint pressures (50-60 psi ) and have a compressor that could handle that much of an air load consistently. Out of the brushes that you listed, I think the best for the job would be the 175 w/ the large tip. Of course, you then have to worry about that much pressure damaging the surface......
