 Subject:  Re: Vallejo acrylic paintList thread.

My experiences with Vallejo are similar, but someone else on this site mentioned thinning with window cleaner/Windex for airbrushing....I used cheap Wal-Mart brand window cleaner and did not experience any of the clumping that I usually get while airbrushing. This is good news because I have 60 bottles of Vallejo paint! Their color range is awesome, and it brush paints very well. The eye drop dispenser helps conserve and control paint usage as well. My problem is that the paint doesn't handle well (i.e. if I touch an area I previously painted, the paint rubs off fairly easily). After each application, I now airbrush apply a thin coat Testors Flat to protect it. A lot of work, but worth it.
