Hi All,
I was recently given some of the Humbrol acrylic line of paint and have found one that's a good match to a colour I'm thinking of using.
Has anyone ever used these? How do they airbrush? and has anyone heard of any reactions with other paint brands?
TIA
Tom

Hi Tom
I don't use many Humbrol Acrylic paints, but the ones that I do work fine. Since I use only two tones of brown, I only brush them (never needed to airbrush with those colours) and they work fine to me...
Sorry, but this is the best I can say from my own experience

Hi Tom!
To answer your question quite simply mate, yes, I have used Humbrol acrylic in the airbrush with good results to follow...the last time that I did do this I believe I had also used a bit of MM acrylic on the same subject and I don't recall any adverse reactions...but the best advice I could give you would be to test in an inconspicuos spot!
Hope this helps ya out some, mate!
Cheers!

Thanks both it's certainly a help. I've been experimenting today and everything seems to be going fine I mixed the paint a bit thin, so another coat required. But apart from that OK.
Thanks again
Tom
