Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick for airbrushing.
Thin the paint further with A.MIG-2000 Acrylic Thinner until it reaches a milk-like consistency. Test on a piece of scrap before applying to the model.
Paint is clumping or drying too quickly on the brush.
Ensure the working area has appropriate humidity, or consider a retarder additive. Clean the brush frequently during application.
Uneven finish or streaks after application.
Apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
