Airbrush paint can be made at home or bought already mixed. The main thing to look for in your paint is the viscosity and proportions of additives. If you can't find the color you are searching for, create it at home. Since the airbrush paint being made is for the body, it needs to be non-toxic and able to wash off easily. Watercolors work well for airbrush body paint, as do acrylics.


Decide what colors you want to create for the airbrush paint. This may depend on what you need to paint on your model, if it is for an event or photo shoot. In this case, you will most likely need numerous colors. You will be using food dye and coloring for the desired color, but if you are creating a color you do not have, find two and mix them to make it first.


Combine the airbrush body paint ingredients, depending upon how much paint you need. For one gallon, combine the baking soda and vinegar and let sit. Add the cornstarch and glycerin after a couple of minutes.


Mix the paint until it is smooth and has no lumps. Add the water slowly to the mixture to thin it out to the desired consistency and stir thoroughly. You may need less or more water, depending upon how runny or thick you want the airbrush body paint.


Add the food coloring to the desired color and shade. If you are making multiple colors, separate each batch into different containers, then add the coloring. Store in jars with lids when not using.


Add the paint to the airbrush gun and experiment with the consistency on a model. Use detailing tools to help you shape designs and themes. To make the paint last longer on the model's body, cover with hairspray once finished painting.
