				<title>Ionic, good for mixing or not? </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Recently, I've been thinking about picking up a set of paints to use to paint 90s-style miniatures. This would probably involve a decent amount of mixing to get the different colors I need for highlighting. I already have a large number of paints, but nothing that would work perfectly for what I'm thinking of doing, and a lot of them have separated and shown that they are, in fact, they are three or more different paints mixed (which is bad for mixing custom paints, as it will throw off what you are mixing). Aside from their self-leveling gimmick ( which may actually help a style I'm doing a little bit), I've heard they do have a pretty pure pigment for their paints. What I want to know is your experience with these paints. Do they mix well? Do they airbrush well? And are they a good paint brand? For reference, here is the paint set I would most likely pick up: <a href="https://spraygunner.com/products/ionic-basic-paint-set?srsltid=AfmBOopOJg5MjcJ4PWqwgCVUxMKSGgAvsTwoZerliqMwZAJYNFfQrRkK" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://spraygunner.com/products/ionic-basic-paint-set?srsltid=AfmBOopOJg5MjcJ4PWqwgCVUxMKSGgAvsTwoZerliqMwZAJYNFfQrRkK</a><br /> Alternatively, what would be another paint brand/Set that could be good for this? <br /> Thanks in advance!]]></description>

Used ai to get a ball park for you. <br /> IONIC Basic Paint Set → Good, smooth and sprays fine, but needs proper thinning and isn’t the most durable when over-thinned.<br /> Vallejo Model Air Basic Set → Best choice for airbrush (pre-thinned, easiest, most consistent)<br /> If you care most about airbrushing → go Vallejo Model Air.<br /> IONIC is good, just not the easiest or most reliable.<br /> Source, If you trust reddit :<br /> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/1s20neh/how_are_you_liking_ionic_paints_and_would_the_two/?solution=869c1e59b4ed16ba869c1e59b4ed16ba&js_challenge=1&token=bbbe4bf1c9a2b5160829c4be34da58619eb6f4a91e353feb4ecf7003e1ba779c&jsc_orig_r=&utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/1s20neh/how_are_you_liking_ionic_paints_and_would_the_two/?solution=869c1e59b4ed16ba869c1e59b4ed16ba&js_challenge=1&token=bbbe4bf1c9a2b5160829c4be34da58619eb6f4a91e353feb4ecf7003e1ba779c&jsc_orig_r=&utm_source=chatgpt.com</a>

				<description><![CDATA[ Never heard of these paints.<br /> <br /> Self levelling is a desirable feature for basecoats, as IME it does result in quite even coverage. But I've only ever used Mr Hobby Aqueous paints that have this feature, and they are partly solvent-based, which comes with its own pros and cons (biggest con being incompatible with wet pallette techinques; once the solvent evaporated, the paint will dry out regardless of how much moisture it has)]]></description>
