Re: paint thinners
as for the mix ratio i find using between 1 and 2 tamiya jars of thinners for 1 jar of paint works very well................oz

Re: paint thinners
i tried thinning with screenwash 50/50 airbrush kept spluttering the paint out, if acrylic paint is water based can it be thinned with water
