Hi Guys,
I am just wondering how AK paints should normally work with brush? I have tried a few colors (wood base for example) and the coverage is very transparent. Even though I have mixed it up properly.
Or it should work with multiple light coats just like when spraying?
Thanks,
Adam

if you mean airbrush colours then they might be a bit thin and you will have to work in several coats.
figure set colours f.e. are thick and need thinning.

Well they are all marketed as "for brush and airbrush"... but thin coats it is... just run another trial this afternoon.
I was expecting a less transparent first coverage.

Hi Adam- I find it sometimes depends on the paint. For instance- I was recently using their White and Cream-white and yes it was very thin and needed several coats when using with a brush- the white also needed several coats when using with an airbrush. But I was also using some of their flesh colors (from their flesh colors set) and these were thicker- not quite as thick as Vallejo, but close.
