Do you also use thinner when mixing Future with acrylic?

 

I did, but not as much, IIRC. It has been a few years.

I used Tamiya X20A acrylic thinner with the Tamiya paint and it worked just fine. The more Future you add the glossier it looks. 

I have thinned Future with alcohol or Windex when spraying thru my AB. I get a smoother spray texture when I thin it.

Is Future compatible to be mixed with Tamiya acrylic flat paint? 

 

Yes. I have done it before to turn a flat color gloss to eliminate the need for a gloss coat and speed up the finishing process on a Weekend Madness GB here.

I mix it with their flat clear for finishing, don't know what difference pigments would make.
