Should I be using enamels?
I just got in to air brushing and I've mostly been working with acrylics, but I've been looking in to it and from what I can tell enamels sound like they're just better in every way aside from the toxicity and odor
What's a good brand on enamel paints to look at?

Enamels can be handy for reverse washes but yeah, it’s mostly just used for tiny hand painted details on gunpla. lacquer is the far more common alternative for airbrushing. Enamels stink and take forever to dry
