No! Don't get the cheap stuff!

CobraColors needs good PPG laquer thinner for thinning. Yes, it can be sprayed without additional thinning, but cutting it a bit more makes it behave better than any Tamiya laquer. It goes on like glass.

But- the thinner can only be gotten in 1 gallon cans (for about $30), which is essentially a lifetime supply. It's perfect for cleaning your airbrush, too. So, get the PPG for both uses, and avoid the cheap stuff.

And why bother with airbrush jars, anyway? Got a color cup? Make your life easier- use it instead. Get a glass eyedropper for transfering paint/thinner. It makes cleanup much easier and quicker.
