I know you need to mix the paint with the silicone because then it will bond with the silicone beneath it and prevent the paint from chipping or rubbing off. However I'm not sure about the proper way to use silicone mixed with paint in an airbrush.

I hear you mix both the paint and dragon skin A and B into the mix. I could be wrong since I've only ever skimmed through the tutorial Kanti gave on here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?2089-Full-Silicone-Tail-Tutorial-In-the-works It's extremely resourcefull and after all of this the only way to really proceed is finding the correct method that works for you :)

I think you mix the paint into part b? And then you mix a and b together so the paint is in the silicone before the two parts touch and start curing.
