fantastik also works very well, but only use the mix for fine detail otherwise when you spray large areas the paint will have a tendancy to pull together on the surface and clump up into bubbles

I have been using 50/50 windex and water when I am doing finer details. I mix it about 1:2 or 1:3 with the paint. For spraying large areas with faskolor, I just use it right out of the bottle and turn the air up to about 45 or higher.

Oh, and DON'T use the green all purpose windex, it makes the paint kind of "bead" and it doesn't turn out right at all.

Use the blue regular stuff.
