Status: offline 		I was recently given an old airbrush system. It has some Miller equipment and some Badger equipment.
I believe I can play around with it and figure out how to use it, but I don't have any idea what kind of paints to use.
Help me out here! What type of paint works best and where do I get it?
I think my first project will be some light exhaust stains.

Thanks
Ed

Status: offline 		While I'm not a paint guru, I would bet you can use most any kind of paint in your equipment. The paint is usually thinned much more that in traditional spray guns. Mix up a dab of paint and try it out on a scrap part first. Play around with the thinness of the paint and the air pressure. Do a search on the web and I'm sure you'll find some info out there to get you started.

Status: offline 		I have a very old one of the very basic cheap Badger airbrushes. I have sprayed latex paints amd the very expensive polyurethane automotive paints. All with equal succes.

The green one is latex. The father gaudy display is Automotive paint.
