airbrush help

hey guys yah im new to both the AF and somewat new to modelling. i just got a tamiya silvia k's and i havent seen mean on the fourums with the OEM colors. since i just got a new airbrush i wanted to try this out but everywhere i looked i dont understand the mixing of the colors like
x-11:2+x-23:2+x-24:1+x-25:1....a little help would be nice for the noob hehe thanks alot for the help guys

Usually in Tamiya kits those are paint colour mixing ratios. Basically all it means is to get the colour they reccomend, mix 2 parts X-11 with 2 parts X-23 with 1 part X-24 and 1 part X-25.

haha yah that what i thought but i wasnt sure..also i read on that you have to add thinner...how much thinner and how do u measure the paint..sorry for the questions but this is the onlything holding me back from finishing the model...thanks again

Tamiya reccomend for enamel paint, you mix 2 parts paint to 3 parts thinner, and for acrylics you mix 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner. The general standard is so that your mixed paint has the consistency of milk, or roughly there abouts.

As for measuring, I use an eye-dropper to get the parts of each colour the same, and it works pretty well. Just remember to clean it out too!

alright. thanks for the help man il be sure to post pics of my car wen im done. thanks agian for the help
