Custom Airbrush Painting
How to Use Airbrush Paints
The airbrush paints available in the market today are non-toxic and water soluble. They are used in applications like temporary tattoos, automotive, modeling, fabric and by custom surfboard makers. They are available in craft shops, stationery shops as well as art stores. I find it very easy to use craft and textile paints and if you learn the basics, it becomes even easier.
These paints come in two different colors i.e. the opaque and the transparent types. The opaque is usually referred as the base color, non transmitting or the impenetrable to sight. They have a higher amount of pigments and can clog your brush easily at the tip. Whereas the Transparent paints allow light to pass through it so that other objects or bodies can be seen distinctly.
Some of the airbrush paints include: acrylics, gouache, and water colors. These are water based colors that come in tubes and in pre-reduced form. Acrylics are available in both transparent and opaque colors, they are easily thinned and cleaned using water. They are used in painting clothing and textiles. sign paints, oil paints and cratex colors are reduced with spirits or turpentine. They can be opaque or transparent depending on the level of reduction.
To apply a airbrush paints on fabrics, first you will need to try it on paper or canvas as you may well know, colors turn permanent on drying. Clean the leather by rubbing with alcohol or spirits. Spray a mild base coat of Opaque for best results. Apply color in thin even coats, avoiding excessive paint layering and over saturation. Let the colors dry before heat setting. Iron the fabric for thirty seconds using protective cloth.

will my custom paint job be covered by insurance?
My vehicle has custom airbrushed paint. If I were to get in an accident and it was the other persons fault, would it be covered? would the vehicle be painted to match the custom work? would the panel hit be repainted to OEM and then the rest left as custom work, or would the entire vehicle be repainted to return to OEM? Also, what if I was at fault, what would be covered?
