Hello All,
I use the crystal paint to paint small parts like tail lights,etc with brush. I wanted to tint a windshield and as it's a bigger surface I used airbrush. I simply cannot achieve good result. I tried it unthinned, thinned with Mig thinner, water and Gunze thinner. The best was the Gunze one. I also tried different pressures. No way to get proper result. The surface is greany and uneven. Can you help me how to airbrush this product?
Thank you in advance!

You might find this video helpful. I think you are having trouble with the surface tension of the water-based paint. Maybe add a small amount of diluted dish soap to the mix?
Edit: I can't seem to be able to post the link. Look up "chapter 2:working with the new crystal colors" in youtube.

Hello,
I've seen that, but in that video the guy just drops the paint from the jar. Does not work that way. Will try the soap, thank you.
