What paint brand do you use/recommend ?

[DawgNutts]

Was going to make a large purchase of paint and bodies to test out the new airbrush. Should I go with Spaz Stix, Faskolor or Createx ? Which one do you prefer and why.

I actually prefer Pactra Acryl over all other acrylic paints. Its shoots much better than parma or createx. Spaz Stix is great stuff too, but is laquer based.

Go with NC's recommendation. He's the best painter on this forum.

NC, what pointers do you have for brushing with Fascolor?

 

[NCNitro]

Shoot it at 25-30 psi pressure, , and thin it with windex.

Do the 2/3 oz bottles go far? Seems the other paints are sold in 2oz bottles, for the same price.

You want quality or quantity? You get much better coverage with the Pactra Acryl, it shoots much cleaner and smoother, bonds better and dries nicer. It's easier to remove masking when using Pactra over parma, with parma if you lay it on a little too thick you can pull up paint when lifting the masking, Pactra is a little more forgiving. Which brings up another tip, lay down several very light coats rather than a heavy one, the first coat should almost be a mist coat to seal around the edges of any masking, this will help prevent bleeds. So to me it's worth it.

Check your local hobby shops. I buy mine on line. Yes, windex will work to thin out faskolor, but I still dont like the way it sprays, I only use faskolor if its a color I can't get in Pactra.
