I've only used it to thin out my artists oils for washes. It works great for that. I don't paint much at all with enamels, I'm an acyrilics guy right now. Sorry.

Actually, 100% mineral spirits are perfect for airbrushing enamels, and will do a great job cleaning your airbrush and for performing enamel washes. I've not heard of Mona Lisa spirits, but if it has 100% mineral spirits, you should be OK.

I find the BEST thinner for MM enamels is MM airbrush thinner in the black can. It's hotter than straight mineral spirits, meaning it's more volatile and will dry a little faster and possibly go through your airbrush a little better than the mineral spirits you buy at the local hardware store.

Is this the stuff you're referring to?

I use that stuff for thinning my oil washes. I thin MM paints with MM enamel paint thinner.
