Santa brought the Badger Anthem 155
 

I got an Anthem for Fishmas. What is everyone using for paint with their air brushes? With the $5.99 Ocean State specials I was able to use vitually any $.88 acrylic that I found at Michaels. And there are a ton of really neat colors including several nice pearlescent colors. Initially at least, the Anthem doesn't seem to like these. The $.88 specials are too lumpy and clog the Anthem. I need to find a way to thin and mix the paint better, or find other paint.

Any suggestions?

most guys here use Createx airbrush paint- its great stuff-

strain paint with a nylon

Like Slip said,also on the small bottles add 1 faucet drip of water at a time and shake till you get a nice fluid mixture.
