dlh Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't thin decanted Testors spray colors and they have been fine. The decanted Testors clear enamel looks thinner than the jarred Testors clear, but still thicker than other colors I have decanted.I'm thinking it wouldn't require thinning just like the Testors spray colors.Thanks,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 When in doubt, I thin. I HATE having to detail-strip my airbrush and pick dried-up/too-thick paint out of it. I try to avoid that nasty chore at all costs, and lacquer thinner (which works fine with enamels) is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the brush clean up, but lost time I the project as well if you have an issue mid spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I usually thin as well. For the reasons already stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I thin based on how it looks. If it looks thick I would thin it a little and see how it sprays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 It also depends on what airbrush you use and what tip size is in that airbrush. Smaller tips require more thinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
