    New to painting, have some questions.

    Just got me a testors air brush. I know thats a cheap one, but it will be fun to start with and see if I can do this. My questions: How do you get the lumps out of paint that has been sitting awhile? shaking them for hours is a pain. How do you know how much water to put in the paint to thin it? Just a few drops or ? I'm using acrylic paints. Any suggestions on getting started would be great.

    Not sure about your lump question. I usually try to get my paint about the consistency of milk. Are the lumps in the paint or in the gun?

    If you can find some Createx paint locally you should buy some. It will save you alot of headaches especially if you are just getting started.
