I have been trying to airbrush AK Interactive 3rd Gen paints without success. I have tried thinning it at a higher ratio (60%-70%) and used flow enhancer among other things. The paint always seems to splatter when I airbrush and I also end up with tip dry. Also, I use 3rd Gen thinner when I airbrush.
I’m wondering if there is anyone that has had some of the same issues but was able to figure out how to airbrush this paint successfully. Thanks.
I had a strange experience with AK 3G paint. I bought some when it first came out and it sprayed beautifully thinned with a little water. A few months later, same paint, same jars, jammed the airbrush. Shaked vigorously, really vigorously, same effect. FWIW.
Yes, I used to use Gunze Sangyo Aqueous all of the time but you can’t get them in the states anymore. The only thing about them is that they came out semi-gloss. I usually like a flat finish on my armor.
Love Tamiya paints as they are my go to paint. Unfortunately, they don’t have any colors that approximate 4B0 green, which is why I want to use the 3rd Generation paint.
