On specific hard colors I get something real close then add some other color , put adab on a trial spot and let dry to see color match , so cheap but awesome , thin them with windshield washer fluid from auto parts store $3 a gallon , cleans airbrushes fantastic too .
Yup, me too. If airbrushing, be sure to strain the paints thru a filter screen and thin them slightly before using them in your brush. Clean out the airbrush immediately when you're done painting, or else you'll have trouble later on trying to get it cleaned out good.
