ok guys heres the deal, i have used an airbrush before with normal paints in a class b4, but i have to paint a spot on my dads bike and all he has is the factory bottle of touch up paint, now what i need to know is how do i use it for airbrushing? (detailed explanation would be very helpful) i believe its an acrylic paint because it sayas acrylic resin in the ingrediants of the back. any help would be very greatly appriciated, thanks!

I guess - thin, load up the 'brush and spray. :) Just need to find the right thinner, try automotive lacquer thinner.
Also, you might get more responses if you write clearly. If people can't understand - they can't help.

1. Test the thinner on a small spot of paint first in a teaspoon or something, this will tell you if auto thinner is the right one, although it likely is.
2. Please don't bump threads, it's rude.
3. You'd probably get a better response if you'd asked this in the right forum, I'll move it for you.

Every paint is different. A lot have there own certain reducers. Call the company that provides the touch up, and ask them if there is a specific reducer required. I cant really tell you exactly what reducer, without the brand, type, and other info.

Usually Around the consistency of milk. Like I said, its hard to tell without knowing the brand and reducer used.
