Default Re: Frustration setting in

Kustom Kolors is enamel paint and I just cut it with their Kustom Kolor paint thinner. There's not any instructions as to what to use to thin the paint with, so I figured that their paint thinner would be ok.

With the Modelmaster acrylics, I used plain water.

It wasn't that the paint was clumpy, just where it splashed up on the siphon tube, it had already......."dried" and was flaking, I guess would be the best way to describe it.

I'm just getting a little frustrated because I spent $100 on an airbrush, $100 on a compressor and I was getting better results from a $29 Testors single action el-cheap-o brush with a $10 can of compressed air. With some things, I just don't have a lot of patience.

Thanks for the tips guy's, I'll try the pantyhose trick.
