Can i use acrylic paint and enamel paint with my paasche vl airbrush?

Yes, but the paint must be thinned to the consistency of coffee cream.





For enamel, thin with the solvent used to clean brushes %26amp; tools for that product. Clean the airbrush with this same solvent.





For acrylic, don't use water - use an airbrush medium. This is made to prevent the paint from drying too fast %26amp; prevents clogging - it also disperses the pigments evenly for the best paining results. Clean the airbrush with Windex.Can i use acrylic paint and enamel paint with my paasche vl airbrush?
You're really better off sticking to 'airbrush paint' especially in the case of enamels.


Getting them consistently thin with solvent can work - but you'd better wear a vapor mask when spraying!


The tip about airbrush medium to thin acrylics is a good one!


But I still say stick to airbrush paint! your colors will be consistent and you don't have to do any additional mixing!
