Airbrush question

[stretch]

Hasing never used an airbrush before, I have a question regarding clear coats..
Specifically... Do you thin Tamiya Clear coats? if so, by how much?

 

[Ian]

I thin in a 50/50 ratio.

And I'm assuming thats with standard tamiya thinners.. Sorry in advance if thats a stupid question

 

[Ian]

Yes indeed. I mainly use Mr. Hobby's Leveling Leveling Thinner or Tamiya's Lacquer Thinner, even though their paints are acrylic. I find they spray better and dry much faster.

Thinning with the acrylic version would also work well too.

In general, you need to thin any Tamiya acrylic color if you're going to be airbrushing with them.
