Sharknose Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi, I wanted to try some ModelAir paints, a lot of people suggest using their flow improver too, but can you use IPA instead, or am I better taking a hit for tenner for the proper stuff? Thanks in advance, Sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I seem to remember V MA goes into a gloop if used with IPA. I use W&N Flow Improver for mine. HTH, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltcarBoB Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I have used distilled water to thin Model Air.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Ranger Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I don't use Vallejo products, but one thing I've always done is use the paint manufacturer's recommended thinners and additives, regardless of brand or type of paint. It's just not worth saving a dollar or Euro or two to risk something going wrong by substituting a cheaper product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IV(AC)Plumb Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 @Jonathan Mock suggestion if using vajello airbrush cleaner to thin their paint is working well for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete F Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Each to their own but I don't find Model Air needs thinning for airbrushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use it for brush painting small parts again straight from the bottle and it works well for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
