I found the best ratio was 4:1 paint to water for Tamiya Acrylics... I was using their XF-55 and XF-57 to color the decks of their USS Missouri (BB-63) with my Paasche VL double-action airbrush





Bravo to Railbuff... those of us who use a WELL do have those troubles... as I learned when I moved from the big city to the ranch... and clogged the daylights out of one of my airbrushes.Tamiya acrylic paint?
When adding water to any paint going into an airbrush chack for the mineral content of the water. If your water comes from wel, particulasrly, there may be minerals dissolved in the water vthat can leave resdue which will damage the airbrish. Calciul, maganese and iron are the real problem makers here.


To be safe use distilled water, or water from a dehumidifier to dilute water-based paints and for cleaning the brush.


The same applies to good bristle brushes.
You can try it right from the jar, if it's too thick just add a few drops of water to it. It is water soluble.
