SA80A2AR Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 would they require acrylic or enamal thinners then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieNZ Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Lacquer thinners work best, such as Gunze Mr Levelling thinner, or Tamiya Lacquer thinner. I have thinned mine with Tamiya X20A acrylic thinner with no problems, but I have read of others having a reaction that makes the paint turn gritty. Definitely not enamel thinners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 They also thin with IPA ok. I've used them a fair bit now with no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I've just noticed your link to the Air colours. I've only thinned those with Mr Levelling Thinners up to now. Their armour colours can definitely be thinned with the aforementioned types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantome Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I've had no problems thinning these with IPA. They spray beautifully well and can be combined with Gunze paints too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
