Default thinning with windex?

im retiring my old airbrush and want to start getting away from the pactra paint and start using fascolors, my new brush and some paints will be in tomorrow, now i read on here that people thin with windex does the blue from the windex alter the shade of the color?

Nope windex works perfect. But IMO its a bad idea to switch from Pactra to Faskolor. Faskolor paint sucks.. At least I have had any good luck with it. I think Pactra and Spaz is the best paint hands down on the market.

Faskolor paint is great, just takes a bit to get right.

Since i dabble in both, i will say its preference. I use Createx/Faskolor for max coverage and for racing bodies. Pactra paints need more coats for it is thinner, but does need more to clean your AB. Faskolor only need wather. I have used both windex and 99% rubbing alchohol to thin faskolor...but the best yet i ahve used in 4 years is Fantastik.

once the faskolor is thinned with windex an it be stored or does the windex ruin the bottle....i spray right out of my faskolor bottles so if i thin it i do it in the whole bottle...
