Ok, time for the next question:
I am sorry if this is not in the correct forum, but I was not sure if this belongs in general forum or painting forum.
I have a 28 ml bottle of Humbrol Matt Cote. I want to use it on my diorama (airbrush) since it has to much of a gloss sheen I want to get rid of.
Can someone tell me if and how I must thin this matt cote?
If someone has a better idea for removing a gloss sheen on a dio, I am all ears.
Tnx in advance

I've never used humbrol matt but have usesd others and I used those straight without thinning. Just use thin coats applying a little at a time to give a nice even finnish. BTW You could have put this underpainting, maybe staff Jim could move it for you.

That's what I use cause that's all the store has. I thin it just like my enamels (thin enough that when I'm done stirring a few drops fall from the sprue I'm using). Works for me.

Never had an airbrush but I use Hunbrol enamels 95% of the time. Every time I thin paint. enamels or oils, I use Humbrol enamel thinner and it works perfect every time. Everything I have read and talked about leads me to believe that you shouldnt find anything different with this!
