My question is where do u find laquer thinner for those tamiya spray?



Thnx,
Henry

Can you rephrase that a little better?

BTW have you ever been to a hobby shop?
That is where I get my paints. Tamiya paints i mean.

Any hardware store lacquer thinner will do the trick

What kind of blue is 'California Blue'?

Tamiya do make a dark metallic blue spray you could use to simulate California blue.

Otherwise, you should be able to use any lacquer thinner to clean the airbrush, and should be able to get that from any hardware type store.
I would not recommend trying to thin the paint with just any thinners though, as you don't know how it would react, if you need to thin the paint if you decide to mix it, first try it on a small amount ot see how it works.

I think the correct name for it is Azzuro(guess that means blue) Cali. You can go to the AutomotiveForums- Ferrari forum and look under F50's and see one painted in this, it absolutey rocks!!!
