I'm sure these, or very similar questions have been asked before, but I always like to ask my own in case advice has changed or my situation is slightly different to others.
As I mentioned a couple of days ago on here I've been getting erratic quality results when changing paint colours, after cleaning the brush through. What I'v discovered is: I haven't been blowing enough cleaner through.
To be frank, and pardon my language, this is a right pain in the arse as I'd sooner be spending my time painting rather than cleaning. To ease this situation I've decided to try thinning the paint, although this is 'pre-mixed' paint, or at least air brush ready, thinning it down seems logical.
I know it's pretty stupid to ask how much I should thin my paint as the make, the thinner, the conditions, the item being painted and the effect wanted will all make a difference. But how much should I think my paint?!
Just as a guideline, and before I go and waste a load of paint which I don't want to do, where should I start? 50/50? 60/40? 90/10? You see my problem, I have no idea what I'm doing hahaha!
Any quick advice you can give may prove to be invaluable and I may love you forever.
(The paint is Vallejo and the thinner is the generic stuff with the black and white label everyone seems to sell. Ooo, and I bought some Flow Enhancer (or something like that), how much of that should I add?)
Many thanks you lovely, lovey people.
