While most airbrush paints come pre-mixed, you may need a custom color you cannot find. You can mix any airbrush paints of the same brand to get the color you need. Always start with the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. To lighten or darken a color, you may need white or black paint. Red and yellow create orange, blue, and red create purple, and yellow and blue create green. If you add black paint, the color will darken. If you add white paint, the color will lighten.
Instructions
1. Add one part of each color you need to get the base secondary color to the empty container. If you wanted purple, you would mix one part red and one part blue.
2. Mix the color with the stick.
3. Add more paint of one color to get variation on the basic colors of orange, purple, or green. For example to get a maroon or a burgundy color, add more red to the basic one part red and one part blue purple.
4. Write down the exact amount of each color you used to get the final color.
