    I was looking at the Eastwood catalog and noticed that pretty much all of their waterborne paint is AutoAir, has anyone used any of their products before, what can you tell me about them?

    Thanks

    We used autoair in the past and it does what it says on the tin , very sprayable , some colors you need to be carefull of not putting it on too wet , adhesion is very good.
    We only used it for airbrush work and custom work so never had to deal with colormatch and that sort of stuf , if you want to some more about it then have a look here : http://www.smdesigns.co.uk/ , Simon is the distributor for europe and is very knowledgeable about the products and also very helpfull.

    AA is a custom paint system not designed at all for crash repair etc ,it can be used for full repaints as well as airbrush work ,i have used it many times for custom bike repaints and use it a lot for my artwork ,it is designed to be as near to non toxic as possible so lacks the chemical complexity of most bodyshop waterbourne systems ,lay it light and let it dry through between coats or you will have problems with it

    i have to agree with artspray. its not much different than any other acrylic airbrush paints made for t-shirts. i can say i dont use it here in my shop. i have tried it many times and while its safer to use it cant compare to solvent basecoats.

    Sorry but autoair is not specificly made for t-shirts , you can afcourse use it on t-shirts but actual you need createx for that and it has a better coverage than most solvent based systems , like Artspry says , lay it on light is the key and it is a good quality paint for custom work.

    yes i know its not made for or marketed for t-shirts. what i said is its not much different than the acrylics for t-shirts. its the same basic type of paint.
