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

that sounds like an airbrush or compressor prob, you need to recheck the settings on them.............ozraven wrote: 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
