Water based vs. ... The older one??..Acrylic??

[Legacy555]

Hi all,

Just a few quick questions for those who know abit about painting with airbrushes. Up to now I've been using the older type (nasty, toxic, etc) acrylic paint. So now I've got some Faskolor water-based paint and the following questions have popped up....

1. I have a clarke 2.8 bar compressor - do I need a 3.5bar+ compressor for the thicker water based paint?

2. Can you use water based and non-water based paint on the same shell (without mixing them obviously) or will they foul each other?

3. Whats the coverage like when compared?

4. Anything I should know before starting to paint?
