It will depend on the amount of thinner but also at what pressure you are spraying at and how close to the model you are.
More pressure=more paint leaving the brush and lrsving more quickly.
Also if you are doing a primer or base coat on smooth plastic you may find you go through much more paint than say a single color for a 3 part camo scheme.
My first base coat may use the entire cup of paint in my airbrush but to do a thin camo line pattern and using a low pressure, I may use only 1/4 of the cup. |
