Thinner for Tamiya Acrylic Paint?

I have thinned Tamiya paint in the past using distilled water, isopropyl alcohol, and windsgirls wiper fluid. Results vary, but each works to a certain extent.

I currently use a certain brand of undiluted car screen wash. Unofrtunatly they seemed to have stop selling it so i am planning on going to isopropyl alcohol which i have heard works really well.

Hey thanks gang! I'll try some of the above and see what happens.

You can also use denatured alcohol, aka methylated spirits. It seems to "wet" better tha n isopropyl alcohol. It also allows you to thin right down, say 75% thinner without losing adhesion.

Note that with either sraight ispropyl or denatured alcohol, gloss Tamiya acrylics will lose some sheen. For gloss, I'd recommend sticking with X-20A or Tamiya lacquer thinner.

I'm currently using Mr Hobby Lacquer Thinner, and it works GREAT. Obviously its got quite the odor, but a good respirator, ventilation and spray booth help with that.
