airbrushing metalizers

Can you airbrusch modelmaster metalizer paints using a fine-tip airbrush or are the metal bits in the paint gonna do some damage?


No damage, but in my experience metalized paints usually don't spray evenly through a .2 mm tip, and need a higher air pressure, around 32-35 PSI, which in turn makes laying wet coats a bit difficult. With the Aztek, I use either the general purpose gray nozzle (.3mm) or the blue hi-flow (.4mm), and the medium tip with the Badger.
