I purchased a thinner made by Testors to use with my paints (also Testors) when I am airbrushing. However, I read the fine print, and it said that it was for enamels. I went on Testors web site, and it said that they had an acrylic thinner, but my local Wal-Mart must not carry it. I searched Walthers for "thinner" and came up with these results (all from Testors): <br /> <br />Pla thinner 1/4-oz <br /> <br />Pla thinner 1-3/4-oz <br /> <br />Metalizer Thinner <br /> <br />MM Air bru***hinner 8-oz <br /> <br />Model Master FS Enamel Figure Colors -- Thinner <br /> <br />Airbru***hinner 1/2 pt <br /> <br />So, I guess at this point I have five options: <br /> <br />1. Use the thinner I already have (is actually for enamels) <br /> <br />2. Buy one of these thinners from Testors <br /> <br />3. If it would work, could I thin acrylics with water? <br /> <br />4. Look elsewhere for Testors acrylic thinner (suggestion, please) <br /> <br />5. Get a thinner from a different brand--Would this work, and from what manufacturor? <br /> <br />The Testor's paint appears to be kind of runny to me already. Does it even really need to be thinned? If so, what do you suggest?
