Thinning Acrylic Paints

[gleason]

Hi!

Just a quick question:

I am a 'newbie' in airbrushing, and am looking at using Testor's
MM Acrylic paints.

I noticed on the label that is can be used for airbrushing.

Can it be used straight of the bottle, or should it be thinned?

If what is the proper thinner to used and the thinnier/paint ratio.

I am currently using the Testor Mighty Mini set, with the Medium and Light grey MM acrylic paints.

Thanks.

Gleason,

Yes, you can airbrush it, but yes - you should thin it first. I've been using Polly-S (polly-scale's) Acrylic Airbrush Thinner for this.

For MM acrylics, I've found that a 70% paint to 30% thinner ratio seems to work for me, but you should experiment a bit to see what works for you.
