Thinning
Posted by STL DALE on Monday, November 29, 2010 10:47 AM

What is a good ratio to thin Testors acrylics?

I am hand painting the small parts of a model using the regular Testors paint in the glass container.

Thanks.

I think if you are hand brushing, you shouldn't thin it at all.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Dale,

 

You may want to try them without thinning if your hand painting. In my experience they are not very opaque to begin with so thinning them may make it worse.

Thanks again for all the help everyone has been giving me.

I will paint without thinning then.
