hay'll just started to use some life colors paints and i have ran into a proble thinning them i have try useing they thinner and i just can't seam to get it right any thoughts
thanks dave

I had the same issue when I first started using life colour, i was over thinning them as they are water based acrylics you dont actually need to thin them that much, just add a couple of drops of thinner and that should do it.

they also take a little longer to dry then Tamiya paints so dont touch them straight away

Dave,

Let us know what you finally figure out.

Tony K. in our club is getting ready to use the Lifecolor paint on his Tamiya M50 Sherman and has been looking for advice, too. He's all set up with their thinner, but he hasn't sprayed any yet.

I find that you should spray life color at lower PSI vs other paints I've used.

I was able to use regular tap water with no problem

thanks all scott may air brush is set at around 15pis what are you useing ???

I've only used Life Colors for small detail jobs, and found that it shot fine thinned 80/20 paint to filtered water @ 18-20 psi.
