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

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.

I would rather thin a touch to be certain as well.  Not just the brush clean up,  but lost time I  the project as well if you have an issue mid spray.

It also depends on what airbrush you use and what tip size is in that airbrush. Smaller tips require more thinning.
