How are you guys thinning the tamiya acrylic paint with the tamiya acrylic thinner. Ratio paint to thinner.

I use the Tamiya Thinner and it works fine for me. To thin for airbrushing, the best way is to grab one of the colors you never use much and experiment, add a little at a time, it doesn't take much. I also mix all the paint into one container and thin it then, to paint a complete tank, for brushing I don't thin.

you can also use 99% Isopropyl alchohol (rubbing alchohol) which is the same as the tamiya thinner and much cheaper. 500ml/16.90 oz for $2.14.
I also use it to clean my airbrush, wipe things down etc.

I usually go about 1 part thinner 2-3 parts paint for airbrushing. I've never tried rubbing alchohol but it would diffently be cheaper. I'll have to try it out

Depending on how big of an area (or how fine a line) I am painting I thin between 30 and 50% thinner to paint. I use windshield washer fluid for thinning and cleaning. It's cheap - 99 cents for a gallon at Walmart.
