That Humbrol paint is thick stuff. I'm not sure of a specific ratio for airbrushing. I've always looked for a consistancy that that sprays well, without spattering, and that still covers fairly well. As for the solvent, it is always a good idea to use the paint manufacturer's own thinner to cut the paint. Clean up can be done with generic mineral spirits.

Can anyone tell me the right mix of Humbrol (enamel) paint to solvent, for airbruching? And what is the best mixing solvent that I can use.Thanks
