    Does anyone know a good website to get water based paint for an airbrush machine instead of alcohol?

    My brother is an artist and makes a living doing custom automotive paint work. He's worked with a lot of different kinds of paint, so I thought he'd be the person to check with. Without knowing what you want to paint or why you would prefer to use a water-based paint, he said he could generally recommend Createx or Auto Air Colors. He said some of these paints can be expensive, but check out Ebay before you buy them directly from a website. Most of the time, you can find paint kits for much cheaper. Here are some websites to check out:

    http://www.createxcolors.com/dealers.html

    http://www.autoaircolors.com/

    http://www.tcpglobal.com/Airbrushing-Supplies/Airbrush-Paint/

    And for fun, here's a link to an Airbrush enthusiasts community:

    http://www.airbrushforum.org/

    I'm sure there would be some expert advice here if you didn't find what you were looking for at the links above.
