Paint problem...

I use Apple Barrel, and other craft type hobby paints, I know blah blah "switch to hobby paints..." blah blah, I don't wanna just yet. I'm gonna get these to work like I did before!


Anyways, with the exception of switching brands and such, I was wondering if you guys could help me with a problem I'm having.

My paint either comes out spattery, so I change the pressure, and it still spatters, so I thin it, and then it's too thin, and separates on contact. These worked before Damnit! Look at that Saleen I painted! fcuk. So, I read somewhere that dish detergent helps to break surface tension, so I was wondering if adding a few drops might help the paint and rubbing alcohol blend a little better?

Thanks in advance!

I would try different thinners such as windex or a mix of IPO and water. I friend uses a tiny tiny amount of plain liquid soap and he gets good results but then again... he uses "hobby paint" ;)

Is it possible that they changed their formula. Sometimes companies will do that.

sometimes companies are stupid. they worked great before. D**ckheads. Oh well, don't know if it'll work if you don't try I guess!
