I think Polly Scale flat 50/50 with Tamiya and get great results.

Yep.  Like I said, I'm sold on the stuff now.  It was amazing stuff!  I've never really used acrylics much but I was very impressed with how this turned out.

Hi guys!

Just to offer a follow-up reply, last night I tried mixing in a little bit of Tamiya thinner with the Polyscale Satin.  It was my very first time using any form of Polyscale through my airbrush.  All I can say is:  I AM SOLD!  The stuff worked great and was pretty thin as it was right out of the bottle so I didn't need to add a whole lot of thinner at all.  I airbrushed the Satin on and it went on so silky smooth!  It instantly deadened (is that a word?) the shine of the glossy paint.

I still love my Model Master clear coats out of the rattle can but now I know how great the Polyscale stuff is and you can be sure I'll be buying more of that in the future.

Mix up a little in a pallet and see if they react. If not...go for it!

Not sure, but I've always had good luck thinning polyscale paints with Model Master's Acrylic thinner.

Hi guys!

I heard once that you can thin Polyscale Satin with Tamiya thinner for airbrushing.  Is this true?  How about with isopropyl alcohol? 

Thanks!
