Model Master Acryl Clear Coats
Posted by shall on Sunday, July 22, 2007 9:26 PM
I am planning on air brushing Model Master Gloss Clear Acryl on my model for decaling and washing (using oils) and Model Master Flat Clear Acryl for a final coat.  I plan on using distilled water to thin with a ratio of about 1:1 or 1:2 parts clear coat.  Does this sound about right?

Model Master Acryl is designed to airbrush directly from the bottle with no thinning needed.  I've been using them for years and I've never needed to thin them.  If you want to thin them, I suggest using Model Master Acryl Thinner.

i use mm acryl clear flat but i do have to thin mine a little.  it really is according to you personal preference here.  i've experience bad orange peel right from the bottle, so i thin mine with tamiya thinner and it works great.  i thin 50/50, but i use an iwata hp-cs so the nozzle is smaller than most airbrushes.  i use future floor polish for my gloss coat.  future is cheap, works great, and can be thinned with tamiya thinner as well.  looks good everytime once you find the thinning ratio and psi combo for your particular taste.  good luck.  later.
