Citadel Colour Air paints are made for fast, smooth airbrushing without the usual “thin it… no, too much… now it’s soup” routine. They’re pre-thinned to spray consistently, helping you lay down clean basecoats, smooth transitions, and subtle gradients that are hard to achieve quickly with a brush.
They’re especially handy for big surfaces and batch work: vehicles, monsters, armour panels, and whole squads that need a consistent colour fast. Use Air paints for priming-style coverage over a prepared surface, zenithal-style colour building, soft highlights, or quick glow effects—then finish with Shades and Layers for crisp details.
Tips for best results: shake well, spray in light passes, and build colour gradually to avoid pooling. Air paints also play nicely with brushwork for touch-ups (they’re still Citadel paints), but they really shine when you let the airbrush do the heavy lifting—smooth, fast, and very hard to mess up once you’ve got your pressure and distance dialled in.
Frequently Asked Question
They’re Citadel paints pre-thinned for airbrush use, designed to spray smoothly straight from the pot.
Often no. If you’re getting tip-dry or spraying very fine lines, a small amount of thinner/airbrush medium can help—but start unthinned first.
Yes, but they’re thinner than Base/Layer paints, so coverage may take more coats. They’re best for smooth touch-ups and glazing-style work.
Fast basecoats, smooth gradients, zenithal-style colour building, and large models like vehicles and monsters where brush strokes are harder to hide.
That’s usually too much paint/too close/too high pressure. Back off a bit, spray lighter passes, and keep the model surface from getting overly wet.
