Thinning paint
I've read that to thin paint for airbrushing thin it to about the same viscosity as 2% milk. For me that is too subjective and not something I can duplicate over and over again with different colors. So I ask if anyone knows an inexpensive and not to complicated way to measure viscosity...If I can measure it...I can repeat it.

I don't use the pre-thinned Parma or Pactra paints. I use the Createx Auto-air because it is easier to get and the pigments are better. My Iwata will spray most of the colors from Createx without thinning but the tip clogs fast and spray pattern is kind of grainy. I also prefer to work in the lower PSI ranges because I'm not fast enough to be accurate at higher PSI's. So I find thinning the paint works best...I just am looking for a way to do it consistently the same every time.
