what do you use to clean Tamiya TS paints from airbrush?

[COZMO6476]

Hi all,

i've read from coaster's motorcycle modeling page that you and empty out the contents of the spray cans into bottles to use in your airbrush. My question is what can you use to thin the paint and ultimately what can you use to clean the air brush out once you're done. Im spoiled by the waterbased acrylics which clean with soap & water but dont have much luck with rattle cans.

thanks

Use hardware store lacquer thinner for both cleaning and thinning. Although the paint in the can is already pre-thinned for spraying..so I really don't see much need for thinning it anymore.

Just my .02 cents, I've had a lot better luck getting smooth finishes from the can than from the airbrush.
