Anyone have a DIY thinner formula for Real Color AK paint?  I have one i found for Tamiya acrylic that has been excellent. 

Thanks

I dont mix my own stuff or substitute generic stuff for thinning.I have had more success sticking with the companies stuff.I don't churn out a lot of models so cost isn't a concern.Now for airbrush cleanup,whatever works.

People are liking Mr Leveling thinner in that stuff. Makes sense since it is an acrylic lacquer paint.

Ditto  I don't like to mix things up so i stay with each product's thinner.  Mr. Leveling Thinner is a great product.

When I decided to go with Real Colors I just ordered a bottle of their thinner when I ordered the paint and never looked back. They worked so well together I didn't see any reason to experiment.
