Golden - Airbrush Medium
Airbrush Medium
Thin acrylics to spray-ready consistency without clogging your airbrush
Golden's Fluid Acrylics deliver intense pigment concentration that can overwhelm airbrush equipment without proper modification. This medium reduces viscosity while maintaining color integrity, transforming thick fluids into spray-ready consistency that flows smoothly through nozzles without the clogging and tip buildup that interrupt your work. The formulation balances flow characteristics with binding strength, preventing the pigment separation that occurs when you thin acrylics with water alone.
Mix ratios depend on your application and equipment, start with equal parts medium to paint, then adjust based on spray pattern and coverage needs. The medium works across Golden's range: Fluid Acrylics become ideal for T-shirt graphics and fabric decoration, Heavy Body paints thin down for large-scale murals, and even Gesso converts to sprayable primer for preparing multiple surfaces efficiently. Fabric artists particularly value how treated paints maintain flexibility and washability on garments.
Keep Airbrush Colors separate, those are pre-formulated for spraying and don't require this medium. For everything else in the Golden line that needs airbrush adaptation, this medium handles the chemistry so your equipment stays clean and your colors stay true.
