-
Heat Setting:

Pro Tips for Better Airbrushing
- Total Opacity: Unlike transparent colors, Opaque Black provides full coverage on both light and dark surfaces, making it ideal for sharp outlines, shadows, and base coats.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance.
- Bulk Efficiency: The 16 oz bottle is ideal for professional shops. Ensure you keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the fluid acrylic from drying.
