Theey are mostly inks not paints and yes they are airbrushed on. It coats better and sprays much better. Daler and Rowney is an English ink making firm. I bought the Macau Green and light pink at a close-out and not knowing anybetter decided to try them. Well they work excellent and I found that Michaels sell it. It comes in three packs in the pearlescent colors at around 12 bucks a package for 3 bottles. Goes a long way and they have a ton of pearlescent colors. I love the stuff. Again an accidental find that worked out for the best. The airbrush cleans up no problem.

Flap, I think you've straightened the learning curve. Those are SWEET!!
