I Need Help On Paint Thinning Please

[bassassassin85]

Hi there new to the forum but joined because i heard incite here is outstanding and so far its been incredible. I recently bought two airbrushes. One is a central pneumatic from arbor freight but i mostly bought it for the compressor since it was a kit for 89 bucks i thought what the heck. I then also bought a iwata neo both these airbrushes have a .35 tip. I also bought create paint kit witch comes with 4 transparent colors and 2 opaque colors. I was inquiring on how i should thin these I've been researching and have came up with the fuzzy conclusions. Ive read you can thin with distilled water but heard it dilutes the bindings in the paint so the other option was diluter/extender? I would just like to know what i can use before I even start so i don't get terrible results. Please some help and much appreciated, jim.

if your using reg airbrush paint most of the time you wont have to thin it just put a few drops in the brush and start spraying paint i use homemade reducer made as follows

1. future floor wax for tile floors 60%

2. dilstilled water 40%

4 drops of gylsere(get it at the drug store liquid form)

i make it 2 oz. at a time for use in my folk art paint i get at the local art store(wal-mart has it too)

that way you have alot of colors at a cheap price and can spray practic paint all day long or paint your lures with it it works great
