Re: Airbrush question

Airbrush cleaner (from paint manufacturer)
Tamiya thinner
this is the most simple explanation, for better one read the FAQ it was there more then once.

Re: Airbrush question

Agree with all of the above...
Use Tamiya thinner to thin Tam paint... the only way to have the shine of the original Tamiya acrylics
Use Windex to clean Acrylics from the airbrush... plain water work too but slower.
If you shoot more agressive paint than Tamiya Acrylics... Airbrush cleaner should do the trick.

Re: Airbrush question

Water don't really work for cleaning airbrush with Tamiya Paint.. well for what I tryed it don't

as for other paint, if it's enamel get enamel thinner at hardware store. 4 Gallons for 3$ and if it's Lacquer, it's about 1 Gallon for 4$

oh and the search feature is awesome on this forum
