Airbrush and primer!

[Lord of the Dead]

I would like to use my airbrush for primer but I don't know where to start. Which brand of paint and ratios if I need to thin it.

thanks for any help

I just got an airbrush for xmas and I've found Vallejo Model Air Grey Primer to be perfect for the job, I use a 5:2 ratio of primer to thinner (water w/ flow aid, in my case).

I agree, vallejo does a range of airbrush primers which come in a variety of colours. I admit I don't thin mine though. eBay is your friend and you can find plenty of vallejo products on there.

I have been using Floquil gray primer for many many years through my Paasche H1 Airbrush. It is a great primer that dries real tight. You buy it in the Model RR paint section. I thin it at about 40%.

Lord of the Dead, I see you also are in Michigan, where abouts?
