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.
Thank you for sharing this interesting and informative article, painting with airless spray gun will be faster and more interesting!
