acrylic paint question

Hi, I am in the process of priming some parts with model master acrylic paints. My question is are you suppose to thin this out for an airbrush or is it ready from the bottle. And if thinning how much and with what? Is there a thinner especially made for acrylics? Thanks Rick

Yes, definately thin it. Model Master makes an Acryl thinner- it's definately worth getting it for using with Acryl. It comes in a dropper bottle- so you just put a bit of paint in the color cup of your airbrush, and add thinner by the drop until you're happy with the consistancy.

Re: acrylic paint question

don't forget that before you do any thinning of any sort, that you mix/shake the bottle of paint thoroughly. Tamiya paints, in my experience, settle/separate very easily when it's sitting in the jar.
