sorry for bumping so quickly but this is important

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.

hey when thinning paint for airbrushing, about what consistancy of the paint am i looking for? or what helpful measuring techniques may any of you have for thinning paint? thanks!

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