Answer 2

The above advice is correct. Usually I use acrylic paints, often reducing the viscosity with water for easier application. Airbrush paints can be purchased or use artist's paints. Never leave your gun sitting with paint in it, like to answer the phone or chase the dog. Always flush it out with clean water until can you clean it, otherwise it can become clogged--never to be unclogged! When finished painting always take the gun apart and clean very well.
Airbrushing produces very fine droplets of color that can drift beyond the painting area. I always work in an area with a strong exhaust fan/hood and wear a good mask with filters. The droplets can be inhaled and cause major lung problems.

Paint... you could shoot fluid acrylics (beware of using tube acrylics and thinning with only water, as you're decreasing the amount of binder so much that adhesion may be compromised).
Golden, ComArt are two decent brands. Good colour, good adhesion.
Other options, watercolour & gouache.
Unless you're willing to risk your health, I wouldn't spray oil based paints through an airbrush...oh sure, you can do it...but risky business. Outside, upwind, and wearing the appropriate respiratory equipment...maybe.
Automotive paints! Urethanes are popular with most Kustom houses (House of Kolor, PPG, DuPont, etc)... or you could go waterbased with AutoAir - either need to be cleared with a urethane clear to be durable. Beware...not all airbrushes are equal! Some don't have teflon packing, meaning...some of the solvents involved with urethanes can eat through the o-rings....and you get to re-pack it.
With the right thinning, yeah, you could probably spray Latex....but why? I'd stick with the fluid acrylics (no pun intended).
Oh, let's not forget Createx t-shirt paints....

I use ComArt for fine art, & AutoAir for automotive murals.

Ah, one more thing. Yes, you can clean the dried paint out of an airbrush and it's relatively easy. Three products I recommend are Createx's Airbrush Restorer , EZ Air's Intense cleaner...OR EZ air oil brush cleaner (I talked to the tech folks at EZ Air, those two products are similar in composition)...all do an excellent job dissolving dried goo.

Answer 4

You could use transparent watercolor or acrylic. If you use acrylic be sure to wear a mask over your nose and mother that fits well. You don't want to breath it in. Best advice: Before painting an area, every time, test paint your move on scraps until you get it right. Then paint your area. I would prefer acrylic, since you can easily go dark to light or light to dark (more difficult with transparent watercolors). Also, you will likely want to work on a very smooth surface--like Ampersand gessobord.

Answer 5

Both the above two answers are correct. Also, if you would like to use a higher viscosity paint, it is best to use a gravity feed airbrush.

Answer 6

you pick the paint according to what you are applying the paint too not by the application method. Any paint can be applied via airbrushing.

Answer 7

An acrylic based ink.
