I've used Tamiya Retarder with their paints for handbrushing. It works well enough, but flat paints tend to have a bit of a sheen after they dry. I have not used it for airbrushing as their thinner and their paint have given me no need for that product when I airbrush.

I bought some Vallejo Flow Improver, and used it with Tamiya NATO Black.  I noticed a huge improvement in terms of dry tip.  Have not tried using it for brush painting.

Dwayne or Dman or just D.  All comments are welcome on my builds.

AHA;

   Tamiya Paint Retarder works well with their product . Being as how I use Automotive Lacquers a lot I use Dupont Retarder . Sure , the paint stays " Sensitive " longer but on gloss it just comes out so much glossier .

 I use tamiya retarder for airbrushing.  It does help especially for longer sessions.  Has eliminated clogs and the paint goes on smoother.  The retarder was $3 and i do 1 to 10 ratio so the retarder will last a long time.
