Hi
I was wondering how you thin your vallejo paint. I use search but I haven't find what I'm looking for. So, I have some problem thinning my vallejo paint, I'm using an airbrush and when I thin it, around 50/50, it's not covering my surface at all. It's like spraying water on. Sometime it's working fine and sometimes not, why ? And also the paint dry in my airbrush when I'm painting ... It's because I paint at high pressure ? or my thinning it's not good ?
thx

Alex, I was under the impression Vallejo was pre-thinned? Are you using ordinary Vallejo which is intended for brush application? Or Vallejo Air, which is for spraying?

I think it's the brush one, i think because whn it's out of the bottle, it's like honey and it would never flow out of a AB ... lol

Vallejo makes two thinners. One for Model color - which is the one you want, and one for Model Air. You can also thin with distilled water, but I have found the pigment tends to seperate when you do this.
