discussion airbrush question

[Guest]

First off,I apologize if this is in the wrong forum! Years ago I used an airbrush but all that was around was enamel paints.The new airbrush came with ready spray acrylics.Well,working on my f-14 tomcat I ran out of the small bottle they gave me.I've searched around but,I can't find out what to thin the acrylic paint with to finish the rest of the coats.Can anyone tell me what I need to use to thin it out for my airbrush?It's testors acryil paints and a aztec airbrush (testors set ).Thanks!

*** Tomcat it is alcohol based,Testors do their own thinners which you would be advised to use if you can,you will probably get away with other makes such as Tamiya thinners but do a test piece first,ask your chemist/drug store to see if he carries rubbing alcohol,try mixing the paint with this.

Rubbing alcohol is also called Iso-Propyl Alcohol. Try the print trade.
