Hi guys!
Just a quick one here. I've heard some good things about using Floquil "Old Silver" for doing a natural metal finish on aircraft. Aside from using the Floquil line of thinners, is there anything else that I can use to thin it for airbrushing? Can I use mineral spirits?
Thanks!
Eric
I have thinned Floquil paints with generic hardware store Paint Thinner and with Testors MM Airbrush Thinner with no problems. I prefer the latter for all my enamel airbrushing due to the "bite" it gives to the paints.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Thanks, Stik!
I've been holding off using the stuff until I found out what works best for thinning Floquil paints. I've never used any of their paints before so I wanted to make sure before I proceeded.
Your welcome Eric. Thats another line of paints I was sorry to see discontiuned. Their Military Enamels line was great. I know thier RR colors still exist, but only the local Model RR Train shops carry those. The closest one is off my beaten path to visit...
I thinned Floquil primer with lacquer thinner when I used it in the past.

Oh man! You got that right! I was bummed when I heard the same thing. I ran to the one and only place here in town that I knew of that carried that line of paints and snapped some up before it was too late. It's some good quality stuff!
