Heard a great tip on The CrashCast about using the sample sizes from the paint store. Went to Home Depot and picked up this 7 oz. jar of Glidden Eggshell Interior for about $3. I picked out a color chip; it was from Behr, and they asked if it was OK to color match it.
Works well in the airbrush, diluted 50/50 with water. On the left is Dollar Tree foamboard, stripped, and on the right is EPP. The photo doesn't do the EPP justice; the grain is emphasize by the direct light.
I've been meaning to paint the leading edges of the EZ-Fly for quite a while... I'll be taking it to the Maker Faire tomorrow, so I took the chance to do it now. Looks great, I'll update with a picture tomorrow.
tl;dr: Glidden Eggshell sampler works great with airbrush, cheap, can be color matched.
