Acrylics Air brushing

[Ron Tamburrini]

Can anyone tell me if they use vallejo varnishes thru an air brush,
may seem like a silly question because the tank guys probably doe this.

I do Ron. I don't buy the Model Air variety though, as you're just paying for more water.

Like your reasoning Carl

Question : do they clog the needle the way the paints do

Hi Ron,
I asked this question a while back and you can certainly spray the varnish no problem. I use a few drops of water and a spraying psi between 20-30. The varnish will not clog while spraying, I use the Vallejo model colour range. I have had no problem spraying the paint or varnish, however when finished you will need to give your gun a thorough clean.
hope this helps
cheers

Have a look here Ron. It's a grass SBS I did a while back but I used an airbrush with regular Vallejo paints.

It's like every thing Ron. Just trial and error to get the dilution right.

I have mixed a touch of Tamiya flat base in the vallejo flat varnish and airbrushed to get a dead flat on a few occasions when needed.
