Review: Perfect for my needs! - I have approximately 4,785,347* bottles of acrylic model / miniature paint from various manufacturers (Tamiya, Model Master, Citadel, Polly S, even some old Ral Partha stuff). Intended for brush work, it's all too thick for an airbrush. Thinning with water is not desirable because it thins not only the pigment, but also the polymer emulsion. The effect of the latter is that if the emulsion bonds are stretched too thin your paint can actually crack when it dries. Not good. Some people recommend Windex as a thinning agent, but you have to be careful you get Windex WITHOUT ammonia in it (isopropyl alcohol can sometimes be easier to find than alcohol-based Windex). This works better than plain water, and Windex / alcohol makes for a decent thinning and bonding agent for the paint. The only problem here is that because you're dealing with a liquid with alcohol in it, it dries pretty fast. On the model, this is good. Inside the tip of your airbrush, not so much. An airbrush medium is, essentially, clear acrylic paint. It thins the paint without weakening the emulsion and maintains the pigment strength. It doesn't dry nearly as fast as isopropyl alcohol, and so your working time in your airbrush is extended. The medium also contains a flow aid which alters the surface tension of the liquid to further prevent spattering. * This number may be slightly exaggerated. Review: AMAZING! WORKS WONDERS! - All I have to say is this stuff is AMAZING and worth EVERY PENNY. I used to try to thin paints with windex or isopropyl alcohol but if I tried to do it with thick paint it would just be all blobby and wouldn't blend smoothly into a thinner paint mixture. This stuff, on the other hand, blends with the paints perfectly and thins them enough so that they can be used with an airbrush. On top of that, this does not dull the color of the paint! This stuff is so worth it, you won't regret it! Also, the paint I used this with is http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B000HF6YX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (liquitex basic paints). It works really well, and if you get the paint set I linked to and this thinner, it will last you A LONG LONG LONG time. ## Features - A liquid medium incorporating an acrylic polymer. - Specifically formulated to thin acrylic colors for airbrush application. - Can also be used when working a regular brush. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001US2NQA | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #730 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #40 in Art Paints | | Brand Name | Liquitex | | Color | Airbrush Medium | | Color Code | Not Available | | Container Type | Bottle | | Coverage | Medium | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,417) | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094376924336 | | Item Form | Aerosol | | Item Type Name | Effects Medium | | Item Volume | 8 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Model Name | Professional | | Model Number | 5908 | | Paint Type | Watercolor,Acrylic,Gouache | | Part Number | 5908 | | Size | 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Washable | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior/Exterior | | Surface Recommendation | Acrylic | | UPC | 094376924336 | | Unit Count | 237 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Liquitex - **Color:** Airbrush Medium - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Item Volume:** 8 Fluid Ounces - **Paint Type:** Watercolor,Acrylic,Gouache - **Size:** 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Washable - **Specific Uses For Product:** Interior/Exterior - **Surface Recommendation:** Acrylic - **Unit Count:** 237 Milliliters ## Images ![Professional Effects Medium , 237ml (8-oz), Airbrush Medium - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71axh1alsML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my needs! *by S***E on March 8, 2013* I have approximately 4,785,347* bottles of acrylic model / miniature paint from various manufacturers (Tamiya, Model Master, Citadel, Polly S, even some old Ral Partha stuff).

It's super thin and milky and provides a great "wash" effect with paints, but it still allows the acrylic molecules to do their thing. I have to admit, washes made with the airbrush medium are actually better on the canvas- they just look richer and more vibrant when dry. The "milky" effect disappears when the paint cures, and it's a little hard to get used to at first, but it's really no difference than working with glazing medium (which is thicker). I highly recommend this for acrylic artists who are looking to make their paints more fluid, translucent, and "wash"-y. It is a really great mixing agent! ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquitex Professional Effects Medium , 237ml (8-oz), Airbrush Medium - Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 237ml (8.0 oz), Clear - Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 250ml (8.5-oz) Tube, Titanium White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3110378-professional-effects-medium-237ml-8-oz-airbrush-medium](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3110378-professional-effects-medium-237ml-8-oz-airbrush-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
