W-Machine Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 What can I thin automotive touch-up paint with for airbrushing? I have a large stock of the ones that come with a brush attached to the cap. Thanks in advance for all the helpful advice.
moparmagiclives Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Most of the stuff I have is acrylic laquer, so I would say you need to cut it with a lacquer thinner.
Chillyb1 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I use regular lacquer thinner for those. I'm talking about Plasti-kote brand paints. They come in a one ounce bottle with the little brush, too. These paints are very susceptible to blushing if you paint in humid conditions.
Art Anderson Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I've used automotive touchup paints for perhaps 45 years on plastic model cars, almost always by airbrush. I use ordinary lacquer thinners with the stuff, has always worked just fine for me. Art
W-Machine Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Lacquer thinner it is, then. Thanks for the tip. I knew I could count on the scale modeling community to send me in the right direction.
