Hi all,

I have never used lifecolor before could some one advise me on the ratio.

I just do my usual 50/50 although I have not sprayed that much lifecolour to be honest. Still the best guide is to get the so called "Milk" consistency, i.e. runs down the side of the pot but leaves a thin film. If you use this as a starting point then not matter how thick or thin the original paint, you will have it about right for spraying.

Hi Anthony, I always airbrush Lifecolor neat, its pretty thin out of the bottle. I've used this paint quite a lot as you can buy it in FS colours, which is handy for American Jets. Cheers Derek
