I am actually reading "Apocalypse Z," a very realistic(??) zombie novel nowadays. It's much better than World War Z.

Thinning ratios depend on brand of paint more than type. Also I find gloss and flats may take different ratios. And, pressure you will use has a bearing on ratio.

Basically, you want the paint to be the consistency of 2% milk.

Try 3:1 at 12-15 psi. That's what works for me but you will have to find something that works for you. More pressure = less thinning; less pressure = more thinning.

Ok thanks Scott.
But I still don't know for sure...
Can't you guys tell me your personal advice in thinning?
That would be very helpful to me.

Cheers,

Jürgen
