airbrush colors

does anyone know are airbrush colors ready to use and has anyone tried to thin down any form of regular food color?

Airbrush colors are ready to use. In a recent airbrush class with Mike Terry he said to never put other colors in the airbrush and don’t try and thin them down. He made that a HUGE point. I’ve only used Americolor in mine.

i use americolor airbrush colors, ready to go. i took a class with bronwen weber and she said you can thin down gel colors with vodka and use them in your machine. I personally have never had to do that since there are so many airbrush colors available. HTHS!

Thanks! I just got a new airbrush and americolors and was curious. I recieved the brush first and couldn’t wait so I tried some liquid drop color with a few drops of water and it worked on paper so I was wondering. Now that my colors arrived I can’t wait to play. Thanks again and if anyone has any experence or ideas I’d like to hear them.
