Hope this sorts your problem Alex.

Alex if you are unsure about how to thin, then the Model Air range of which you can get most if not all the colours you require is mixed espcially for the airbrush. Failing that try a little Tamiya Acrylic Thinner, that has worked for me in the past rather than Vallejo, which seems to clog the airbrush after a few passes.

Have you primed your model, water based paints need a dull primed surface to adhere (is the water splitting, like water on a car bonnet)

I use xtracrylix thinner with Vallejo paints, and it works fine.
YES thats just what is like. the model is primed and sprayed in a base colour read for the top coat. I can hand paint it on but mo i add thinner it just spatters and diserpatesOriginally Posted by sprayman
Whats the thinner to paint mix?
The liquitex thinner may be a sort of problem, if you can just mix the paint with a touch of water only and spray that on your primed model, if all is well then the liquitex is the repel problem, if not we can try and sort what else could be the cause.

I must admit I don't stick to an exact ratio; I just go for the good old 'milk' consistency
What is the milk consistency? Red top? Green top? Blue top? Gold top? I never know what to thin or to think?
Sorry for late rely just been busy at work.
