Hi!
I have some questions about aplying Tamiya Color Clear X-22 with airbrush.
Will it work to use Humbrol's "Enamel Thinner" to thin the clear pint to my airbrush and how thin should the mix be, should I have 50/50 or?

Sorry for my poor english :-)

PS. My base color is vallejo modell color thined with water.

Hi Par, Tamyia paints are Acrylic you need to use Tamyia thinners or Isopropyl alcohol which is much cheaper and does the same job, dont use enamel thinners it wont work. hope this helps.
