Anyone here ever used Gunze Sangyo's Mr Color paints?

I ended up with some of these when I was trying to find some Gunze Sangyo acrylic paints. The on-line description said "acrylic" (technically they're right, but it's a solvent-based acrylic). Eventually I learned I should've been looking for the word "aqueous".

Anyway, I apparently now own paints that may require a proprietary reducer. Do I have to bite the bullet and buy the Mr Hobby thinner or will something else work as well?

If you've painted anything with these, please post pics, comments etc.

I haven't tried them with anything other than the proprietary thinner, which works perfectly with them. They discontinued the aqueous acrylics, this is what has replaced them. Thinned w/their own thinner, they are fantastic paints. Tamiya aqueous acrylics thin with Mr. Color Thinner & Tamiya lacquer thinner (essentially the same thing), and thus sprays to a much finer mist than using their X-20A thinner...spraying acrylics with lacquer thinners makes them lay down like we expect.

I use Isopropyl Alcohol just like I use for the Tamiya paints. Seems to work just fine.

I have a lot of Gunze acrylics and you can treat them just as you would Tamiya, so lacquer thinner or IPA for airbrushing and a drop of acrylic flow improver for brush painting is all you need. Lacquer thinner not only works, it works better than anything else. It's all I will use with both these brands now.
