The Revell Color Mix Thinner Acrylic 100ml is used to thin Acrylic paint. Thinned acrylics are suitable for airbrush use and, when thinned heavily, act like watercolour paints so can be used as coloured washes.
In principle Revell Aqua Color paints can be diluted with water to facilitate spraying. However dilution with Aqua Color Mix has two advantages. Firstly, it is a retardant which prevents the paint from drying too quickly in the spray unit and on the background. Secondly, the thinner gives an improved result when sprayed on the model. When matt and satin matt paints are used Aqua Color Mix reduces undesirable lines when the paint is applied. Recommended mixing ratio: 3-4 parts paint to 1 part Aqua Color Mix. As this mixing ratio depends heavily on the spray unit used and the working pressure of the compressor, please test the paint with less thinner to start with. If the airbrush "sputters" or the paint dries too quickly on the model (rough surface) simply dilute it a bit more.
