Acrylic water based craft paint at Michaels.
I have been using Plaid "Folk Art" and thinning alot for airbrushing. It has worked fairly well for me. But I spent a long time talking to Plaids product knowledge speciaist and she reccomended the Michaels "Craft Smart". It costs $0.50 a bottle instead of $2.00 a bottle. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif Plaid makes this paint also. Seems to work better than apple barrel as well. So far it has been better than any "craft paint" I have tried. 74 colors. $37 will buy every color.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Just thought I'd share this with my tackle making buds.

Thanks for the heads up. Yes I am afraid I frequent Michaels as well. Get some strange looks from all those soccer moms while roaming around in there. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

my wife is a professional artist... so if ever need anything from michaels or... *gag* 'hobby lobby' she will pick it up for me. heck she knows more about paint than i do so no problem there. Usually just have to sneak into her studio and swipe what i need though http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif

hmm, might give some a try, thanks.
I tend to hit hobby lobby due to the big sales they run (ok some of you quit gagging, plenty of eye candy there to).
Plus, they sell a 30 minute epoxy in two 4 oz. bottles for 9.99 that is a nice alternative to D2T for bonding your lips, screws... and yes for top coating if you desire. Just don't over mix adding your own bubbles into the equation.

strange but i stumbled on the same paint about a week ago while looking for some plaid. havent used it yet but was wondering if you had to thin it also.

Yes it needs to be thinned about 50/50 with water.
