Jose,as an artist I can tell you that if you want your brushes to last a long time,observe one simple rule,always rub liquid soap into the bristles at the end of the session in the palm of your hand,swirl the brush around a bit and see the colour come out,that colour builds up in the ferrule of the brush and wrecks it,any thinners is fine but will not remove all colour.
I am going over slowly to acrylics myself these days,but white is the weak spot,no manufacturer seems to be able to formulate a decent white acrylic for model use that has a decent body to it,some of the best acrylics in my opinion are the Warhammer ones,silly names for the colours but super paint.
