I make a lot of models that don't use humbrol colours(the only ones available easily to me)and alot of the colours that are recommended are a mixture of say 8 parts of this to two parts of that and 1 part of that.I was wondering what is the best way of getting the right quantities of of the tin easily and should I use a thinner to mix them as well.
Thankx.

Noodles,
if you're going to mix small quantities of paint an eyedropper can be the solution, for larger quantities a syringe is what I use.
Ciao

Hi Noodles:
I use a dropper in that cases (small Q) If IŽll need a big Q of paint I try to obtain the propper colour from Model Master.
