Use Warpaints: Airbrush Medium to thin the paint

The Warpaints Air range by The Army Painter is designed to be airbrush-ready right out of the bottle. However, if you prefer a thinner consistency, you can use Warpaints: Airbrush Medium to thin the paint and achieve your desired flow.

To thin your Warpaints Air paint with Airbrush Medium, start by shaking the paint well to ensure it is thoroughly mixed. Before opening the bottle, shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure that the pigments are evenly distributed.

Once the paint is mixed, pour a small amount into a separate container or onto a palette. Add a few drops of Airbrush Medium to the paint and mix them together thoroughly. You can use a vortex mixer or simply stir them with a stirrer or a brush handle.

The amount of Airbrush Medium you add will depend on your personal preference and the desired consistency. Start by adding a small amount and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired flow. It's important to mix the paint and medium together thoroughly to ensure a consistent finish when airbrushing.

By using Warpaints: Airbrush Medium, you can thin your Warpaints Air paint to your desired consistency while maintaining the high quality and coverage of the paint. This allows you to create smooth and even gradients, blend colours seamlessly, and achieve the perfect finish for your project. Remember to clean your airbrush thoroughly after each use to prevent clogging and ensure the longevity of your equipment.
