Thinning FASKOLOR
Few Quick Questions:
1. What ratio do you thin faskolor?
2. What PSI do you shoot faskolor & other acrylic paints at?
3. Do you use any thinner besides water with faskolor?
Thanks for the info!

Faskolor thinning
Formula 409 All purpose cleaner works pretty good. I started using it to paint slot car bodies.
These are the stickys on oldweirdherald.com about air brushing. I found it pretty usefull as I rather new to airbrushing. It should answer all of your questions.

I personally just use water myself. I've tried 409, and alcohol but I don't like the vapor and I'm painting indoors. Water and patience give me decent results.
As for ratio, it can be anywhere from a 1:1 paint/water to .5:1 .. I've found it depends on the color, and how I need it to spray. I spray anywhere from 5-20 psi depending on what I'm laying down and how thick or thin it is. Thin can handle less pressure, or if I'm doing fine detail. If I'm just throwing down a thick cover coat on something and not thinning the paint down I'll crank it up to 20 or so and just blow it out.
