Has anyone ever mixed acrylic Tamiya and Gunze Sangyo[Mr. Hobby] paints together, and are they compatible.

I've accidentally mixed tamiya and mr hobby aqueous before and didn't show problems (only painted a small detail part). Although i would not recommend it.

I have mixed both together and had no problems. I also used Tamiya thinner with Mr Hobby colors. It works.

I use and mix both regulary, no problems at all. For thinning, Mr. Color leveling thinner and/or Tamiya x20a with paint retarder, no problems too.
