1 part this 1 part that.

I'm a relatively new modeler and I just got my new airbrush and I'm always hear about adding one part paint and one part thinner, what I want to know is what is the measurement of a single part like maybe how many ounces or whatever, so if you can I would appreciate the help.

Not a airbrush guy but I do recall many thinning the paint to the consistency of 2% milk. Its all relative to how thick the paint stock is, preferred air pressure and the guns nozzle. Experiment to find what works the best for your set up.

Monster are you asking what 1 to 1 is? 1 drop to  1 drop or 1 gal. to 1 gal. as in equal parts.

2 to 1= 2 drops of say thinner to 1 drop of paint.
