Which acrylic paint brand do you use?

Gunze & Tamiya with Tamiya thinner.

The Tamiya thinner may be more expensive, I find it lasts at least 3 builds, which works out at less than £1.50/$3.00 a build.

I use Tamiya and Gunze, thinned with either alcohol (methylated spirits/95% ethyl alcohol) or Tamiya X-20A thinner.

Don't buy the small bottles - only buy it in the 250ml jugs. Only use it for thinning - use alcohol, water orwindex for cleanup. Do the maths.. Here in Australia, Tamiya shifted to the 10ml bottles only several years ago. $3.00 for a 10ml bottle vs $9.00 for 250ml. 25x 10ml bottles = $75.00.

I've also just started using Vallejo acrylics, which can be thinned with distilled water. These are far nicer to brush paint with than either Tamiya or Gunze, though you require multiple coats of thinned paint for best results.

Tamiya and Gunze can be thinned with 90% isopropyl alcohol. I suggest adding a drop of acrylic retarder. Tamiya thinner is essentially premixed 90% isopropyl and retarder. Both paints are readily cleaned with Windex and/or Simple Green solution.

My favorite paint is Polly Scale. Thin it with distilled or deionized water. 

I use and like Model Master and Polly Scale. I thin both with 70% alcohol and a spalsh of drying retarder.

Tamiya and Gunze thinned with Tamiya thinner work the best for spraying for me (sometimes I use 91% alcohol, especially if it is a flat color), but both Polyscale and the new defunct Color of Eagles makes some great paints, too. I thin these with Model Masters Acryl thinner.

Tamiya with Tamiya thinners and Windex for clean up.

Another nod for the 250 ml bottle. I buy maybe one every 18 months or so. Only use it for thinning and it lasts forever. In fact I threw out some of the last one because it went off. I think I contaminated it.

• Paint: Tamiya and ModelMaster Acryls. I have mixed them and never experienced any compatibility issues.
• Thinner: Tamiya.  I don't know what size it is, but I bought a fairly large plastic bottle of the stuff for not too much money, and since I use it only for thinning, it has lasted for a long time.
• Cleaner: 70% alcohol, windex, or ammonia. 

I've had really good luck with model master paints and thinning with isopropyl alcohol.  Airbrushes real well...thins realy well and even brushes real well...
