I have always brush painted with enamels, but have recently decided to try Tamiya's Acrylic paints to brush with. I have had nothing but problems. The paint dries so fast I have a terrible finish with several brush strokes and rough areas. Do I need to thin this paint out before brushing with it? If so, what should I use to thin the paint?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Try applying the paint in thinner layers and not brushing over areas you recently brushed, allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
I brush on Tamiya acrylics all the tine without any problems.

Tamiya acrylics are mainly for airbrush use, but do what freakray said, it does work

all i use is tamiya acrylics for brush painting. i find they go on really smooth. no need to thin the paint it is fairly thin to start with. i suggest just using a nice soft brush
