Post Airbrushing tips/advice?
i've just recently started airbrushing and i'm wondering what some best practices are for certain colors. as far as paints, i've been using mr color and mr hobby aqueous.

the colors that are in question are the fluorescent, metallic, and pearl paints. i've been experimenting and bouncing tips back and forth with a friend who's been doing it for awhile longer and he said that fluorescents require a white base otherwise they don't look true to their color. i haven't really figured out the other two yet.

can anyone on here share some tips on what the best method is for those particular paint types/colors? any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!

thanks organic, i looked through that many times. it's more geared towards v-color and i've never worked with that medium, so i don't know if there are differences to application and treatment compared to the paints i'm using.
