Accu-Paint's thinner was just Acetone, available at home centers for way less than $34.95. I'm still working on a pint from 2006 and I'm amost out of Accu-Paint. Hope the new stuff works as well.
Mine doesn't move.......it's at the station!!!
I've had good results using Lacquer Thinner from "Klean-Strip" for Scale Coat 2. Also great for cleaning out the airbrush well. You can find it at Ace Hardware, Wal-Mart, Lowes and Home Depot stores. One quart can should last you through a lot of paint jobs. Depending where you are in the USA, a quart can costs between $4 - $8. Hard to beat.

According to their website, Tru-Color paint is a re-formulated version of Accupaint, which supposedly flows better and gives a glossier finish when dry. In my opinion, the former "improvement" was unnecessary, while the later one is undesireable - Accupaint's finish is perfect for decaling.
However, you may want to try lacquer thinner - I use it whenever airbrushing Accupaint, with good results.

I've never used it but since it's a "solvent based paint" any good mineral spirit should work just fine.
This weekend I airbrushed Tru-Color paint for the first time. I really like the result and the color choices. However, at $34.95 for a pint of thinner it is cost prohibitive, Can anyone suggest a more economical substitute?
