kpc7676 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Advice needed, I managed to get the paint down, but geez, there seemed to be no thinner that would actually dissolve the paint post spraying. I managed to thin the paint using their own thinner, but for some reason they wouldn't clear the airbrush afterwards. Lacquer thinners were even worse. i don't need to reuse the paint at this stage so for the future, what thinner is applicable???? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Well if cellulose thinners wouldn't shift it I'm at a loss to what will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have used AK primers and cleaned the AB with Vallejo air brush cleaner with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger1895 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I successfully use AK paints thinned with with their own thinner, Ultimate Modelling Products thinner and even Mr Color Self Levelling thinner, all with no problems. However your problem seems to be in cleaning the airbrush. is it right that you're saying you're using thinners to clean your airbrush? Thinners are not normally strong enough to clean with which is why there are dedicated cleaning products. To clean my AB after using AK paints I first flush through with water (the paints are water based and this saves money on cleaner), the I use a cleaner (I use Ultimate, Lifeclor or Vallejo AB cleaners). I then flush with water again. Lastly I shoot through a tiny drop of pure IPA this being alcohol evaporates quickly. This is all very quick and I've never had any problems with it.

fayfaychu Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I second water and IPA. Their thinner smells of IPA too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
