                        I received a bunch of MM Acryl paint for a very good price.  But I am noticing that it does not cover very well brushing or spraying.  It is not just one color either.  What am I doing wrong.  I have used acrylics before Tamiya Gunze and Polly scale with no issues.  JOHN

                        Are you over thinning the paint?  MM Acryl paints don't require much, if any, thinner for airbrushing.

                        I never had good lock with MM acrylics either.  Never did figure out what the problem was though.  Now, I stick with my Tamiya and Gunze.

                        Thanks Frank.  I loved the old Floquil enamels still have some left but the supply is starting dwindle.  I still like MM enamels and tamiya and Gunze acrylics
