Mr. Color Paint

Thanks for the info. Makes sense I mix most about 50/50 will add a little more

I thin the paint in the air brush 95% of the time, too.

For me, I always mix it in the airbrush. I put in some thinner, then a little paint, then test it. If I guessed wrong I just add thinner a little at a time until it sprays well. I like this method because, as I was saying, different colors seem to need to be thinned more than others. Then again, I mix all paints in the airbrush.

You are a brave soul! I've never had that work right, paint comes out in all sorts of viscosities, regardless of what order I add stuff in. So I always mix in a seperate container. More clean up though...

Yes, same what everyone is saying. I'll just add that thinning these paints is so important that I always mix it in a separate jar, then pour it in your airbrush. Don't try and mix it in the airbrush.

Mr. Color is pretty much all I use and what I have noticed is some colors need thinned more than others. For instance RLM 76 I have to use 80-90% thinner, but others not as much. The answer to any Mr. Color problem is more thinner. Best paint going IMHO.

I agree. Not thinned enough.

You're not thinning it enough.  It comes out of the bottle very thick.  I always use Mr Color Leveling Thinner with great results.  You typically need, at a minimum, a 1:1 thinning ratio.
