Thanks for all th answers guys,
I´m not quite sure what happened but I spryed th model again using th same paint and thi time thinning with destilated water and wored like a charm.
Maybe as yo said had something to do with a contaminated alcohol, or maybe the humidity, who knows.... but it´s now fixed LOL.
I can´t get Tamiya thinner here, with much MUCH luck I can get one or two acrylic paints, maybe in Buenos Airs, but that is about 1200 km from here LOL.
In all my state there are not a single hobby shop, so imagine LOL.
Best regards and thanks for the help

GreenThumb I am wondering if the paint was not mixed well and he sprayed most of the pigment before and what is left in the bottle now is much lower in paint pigment?

Humidity can play havoc with acrylics - was there a big shift in weather from one day to the other? I try to use the Tamiya thinner when I'm airbrushing, not sure if the alcohol can add to the problem or not?...

Hi Jeremias
I have to admit this one has me a little stumped.
When you finished sraying the first time, what did you do with the left over paint, if any?? Did you put back in the paint bottle??
It sounds like the paint is contaminated or seperating in some way!! Did you mix the paint real good the second time??
Was there any kind of additive included ie: retarder or flow enhancer added??
Just try to eliminate the obvious/easiest things first
Hello,
I just finish a paint job on a model and I had a big proble.
A couple of days ago I painted a model using tamiya´s red acrylic paint, and i went flawlessly, but today, using th same paint bottle, the same thinner (alcohol) and the same airbrush the results were completly diferent, the red looks opaque and translucent (as bfore I painted a white base before the red) even in the touch up I did on the parts painted before it looks awful, do you gyus had the same problems sometime?
thanks
