Paints???

Custom WorkstationHi! I'm basically a beginner customizer, but I really love doing it. I've noticed that the paint on my customs, which is the regular acrylic paint you can buy at places like Walmart, just doesn't look as good as the paint on other people's customs. I've read all of the tutorials on this website, and have seen some of the paint recommendations, but it seems like all of them are air brush paint. What is the best paint I can get that can just be brushed on? Thanks!

Please wait...

well, I think acrylic is acrylic and any brand will do. just like in medicines, the generic works well just like the branded ones coz their ingredients are (almost) the same. you just have to figure out how to work with that particular brand of paint. I don't use thinners or alcohols in thinning down my paints, I just use water and it works well.
just thin down the paint, use a fine bristle brush, apply it one thin layer at a time, let it dry completely, 5-10 mins is ok, but I sometimes let it dry for hours, or even overnight (if I get lazy. hehe!) before applying the next coating.
