Can anyone tell me what they think is the best medium to use, to thin Mr. Surfacer 500 for airbrush use? I've thought about usin' X-20 enamel thinner, not sure if this is a good idea! Thanks!

How about Mr. Color Thinner 110?

I've bought it for thinning (but not for airbrushing) ... it worked.

I would rather use Mr. Surfacer 1000 or 1200 for airbrushing (finer grain)

cheers

I guess it depends on the AB.............

I've had fantastic results reducing Mr. Surfacer 500 with both Gunze Sangyo Mr. Leveling Thinner, and plain old lacquer thinner.



I airbrushed this entire scratchbuilt interior with Mr. Surfacer 500 and Mr. Leveling Thinner. I'm definitely sold on the combination and use it for almost every priming need.

Just to make a suggestion, I have found that the aerosol cans of mr surfacer are quite good value, they look small but seem to last a really good time and it is much easier than cleaning my airbrush after spraying them.
I buy mine from a chap called Lou Stener at this address, his service is second to none as he is a modeller himself and really looks after his customers.

Admit it, you just wanted to show off your work!
Seriously, that is a superb interior.
