I really do not mind who uses what Ken as it does not effect me but to put in perspective acrylics.
This is not knocking enamels this just a representation of acrylic water soluble paint.
Water based acrylics can be overcoated within an hour. I have used just air from an airbrush and
dried and then overcoated within 15 mins. With the new acrylics primer you can use acrylics within
about 15 mins over the top. To cure for varnishes etc 24 hours.
Watersoluble acrylics you can use any one manufacturers thinner for any of the other acrylic
manufacturer's paint. Not recommended by me but some use water as a thinner.
Cleaners. I use mainly water to clean my airbrush with just a cup of cleaner at the end.
99% of water soluble acrylics are non toxic. A few yellows are not.
There is virtually no smell from any of the water soluble acrylic paints. Vallejo airbrush cleaner
has a very slight smell.
Acrylics do not give me a headache. When I tried enamels I had one every session. That
may of course be just me susceptible (I had to use a comparison here which I have avoided
elsewhere)
Vallejo, as an instance, have a colour choice in acrylics of approx 300 colours plus a variety of varnishes.
Lifecolor approx 250.
