Reply to "painting"

I'm getting ready to spray the interior of a passenger car with Liquitex Acrylic Paint.  I tried to brush it on, but can still see the brush marks.

 

It's the only paint (Medium Viscosity/Soft Body Yellow Oxide) I have that looks like the color of the interior of the car (Seaboard Sun-Lounge).  I've never used this paint in an airbrush so I Googled it and found this:

What he says about thinning with anything but the recommended medium for airbrushes makes sense.  I'm going to thin it with Testors Universal Medium (have already thinned it in the bottle and seems fine).

 

Best I recall I bought this paint at Michaels a couple of years ago (that's why I had to add some of the airbrush medium to the bottle) and it's cheap compared to the hobby paints available, I bought a 2 oz. bottle.

 

My old Miller compressor has served me well since I bought it back in the early 70s, but it's loud, might be time for a new Iwata unit , but still no paint booth in the future.
