Do you thin rattle can paint?

[Stickit2gether]

Ok after reading here some last night Im a bit confused......after decanting do you still thin the rattle can paint before using in an airbrush?

[MrObsessive]

For me generally no. If it's thin enough to come out of the can through the spray nozzle, it's thin enough to airbrush.

The only exception is if I have some left over, and it's been sitting in the jar awhile, then I'll add some thinner to it to minimize any drama.

I have thinned ModelMasters lacquers a bit....a couple of drops of thinner. As Bill said it usually sprays well without.

[GeeBee]

Not usually, it's usually thin enough to spray as it is, I only add thinners if it has been sitting in a bottle for a while and the paint has thickened a bit over time.

I think most people here will tell you enamel paint when decanted will dry quicker if.you thin with lacquer thinner. I've find.this true.
