Airbrushing on SMBC

Hello,

I have to airbrush SMBC to a Ruby Red color. Is it possible? I read somewhere that the fat in SMBC will cause the water based airbrush color to bead up. Also, if an airbrushed cake is placed in fridge, will the condensation effect the colors?
I will be using Amerimist. Any personal experience will be most helpful, as its the first time I will be airbrushing.

Thank you all!

I have airbrushed SMBC before but you have to use a non water based colour. And go gently, layer it up . Condensation is something you’ll have to factor in yes.

Thank you! So will Amerimist work? I think its water based…but that’s the only Airbrush color available here in India :(

Ohhh I haven’t used that brand before…if it’s water based you might struggle with it… Sorry I can’t be of more help with that brand, maybe do a test on some spare SMBC first?? X
