Hi All

We are new to painting and we need a few tips. We are going to be using Pactra Acryl Pearl Silver and Pearl White paints. What do you back them with, i have heard to use black and also to use silver, which one would work the best? Also, what psi do we need to use?

thanks

well you dont really need to back silver with silver, but using black behind that would be a good choice, it will darken it just a tad but still look fine, with the pearl white, try using both, the silver alone dosnt do to good of job for coverage, but if you use the silver first to keep the white then back that with black to keep light out on the other side

back silver with black
back white with silver
back colours with white

What PSI - anywhere from 10psi up to about 80psi, depends on the paints, how much there thinned, and the airbrush itself, no correct answer, trial and error.
