Luster airbrushing

Please could somebody advise me if it is safe to put lustre colors mixed with alcohol in an airbrush? Do you think I might damage my airbrush?

Hi Ushi

It’s not advisable to use regular lustre colours through an airbrush because the pigment granual size is too large for most nozzles and will block the airbrush. Using them won’t damage the airbrush, however, it will be very difficult to clean down afterwards. General advice is to use only the paints specifically recommended for airbrushes. Please also take a peek at the following question:
