How to Make Your Own Airbrush Colors | Luster Dust, Gel Food Color, & Paints

Can reduced fruit juice be used as a colour and flavour in airbrush gun? I'm looking to coat with thin lyers salt grains.

Hello! We have not tried something like that with an airbrush machine. As long as the fruit juice is similar to the thin consistency of airbrush colors with no lumps or small particles, it will likely work. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

I've mixed some luster dust with Vodka and tried to airbrush on cookies flooded with a Icing Sugar Corn syrup glaze. The 'paint' just beads up and stays wet for what seems like forever. So much for alcohol evaporating in minutes! What could be hte problem? Paint too thin or the glaze itself I'm trying to stencil?

Hello Barbie! It could be that your paint/airbrush color is too thin. You can try adding more luster dust to the mixture or try using Everclear as it has a higher alcohol percentage and will evaporate faster. Let us know if this helps and if you have any other problems!

So with using normal gel colour do I need to add clear vodka or leave it?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

You will want to add a clear alcohol until it is the consistency of an airbrush color (or as close as you can make it). Also, be sure to turn the dial up for more air flow as it may be slightly thicker than normal airbrush color. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Which should I use for bon bon?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

Hello! None of the airbrush colors shown in this video can be used with bon bons as they are water based products. To airbrush your mold for bon bons (or any chocolate) you will need to use colored cocoa butter. Be sure to do some research on airbrush machines to make sure they can be used with your cocoa butter product. We hope this helps!
