I don't know if this is a stretch or not but...There is this spray can that you can buy for like a limited uses for airbrush. I am really wanting to use that instead of Wilton's Color Mists on this cake I am doing for Friday. The problem is I don't want to spend the money on airbrush color and CC is out of the colors that I need anyway! Can I make colors with my regular americolors?? By thinning it down a bunch?
Thanks!

Well hun it's like this,
You could if you are in a pinch thin them down with alcohol NOT water. But, I don't recommend it. Reason's being,
#1 Regular gel colors have binders in them to thicken them and that could cause clogging and spitting.
#2 Airbrush colors are ink like, more staining than pigments. Now the difference between stains and pigments: stains become part of the medium, whether it's water, alcohol or gel medium where as pigments on the other hand are held in suspension not really becoming part of the mixture but floating around in it. That is the major reason you can only get so many colors in airbrush and much more in the gel colors.
So basically what I am saying is that airbrush colors are ground finer and strained more to make sure that the particles won't clog your needles.
