I would second that. Though the paint does look 'paler' in the cup when thinner is added it is not reflected in the finish.\ said:Not advisable Scott. Use Vallejo thinners. Finally do not worry that the thinners is a milky white it does not effect the colour one bit.

Tried the thumb nail test under lab. conditions & amazing did not make an difference to its stickability at all for water or Vallejo thinners. But it does provide using Vallejo thinners more creamy paint & gives a better coverage .\ said:This question has come up a number up times. So I thought I would test Vallejo recommendations out.Using model colour & the same measures each time I thinned with water & then another test with Vallejo thinner.
This was over a wing of a 1/72 Spitfire I use for testing Vallejo paint colours. This was wet & dried to give a smooth finish. Found that the Vallejo thinned paint was more creamy & gave better coverage. Something Vallejo missed out on.
Leaving it for 24 hours before applying my scientific test to test scratch & stick ability. This will be performed using my thumb nail !
