  4. A little late to the post, but yes: Alclad Aqua Gloss. It is super strong and stands up to enamels/oils/decals/and decal solutions. Use it straight from the bottle, no thinning. Spray it at 12-15psi, 5-6 centimeters from the surface, should go on wet, don't blast it on, and give it an hour to dry. Then you are good to go!
  5. Hey Da Just read your message. Yes, make the formula mixture and best to put into a bottle for easier use. Then mixture 50/50, 18-20psi, for general airbrushing.
  6. Sorry, for my belated reply. I just saw your message. No do not use the mixture Vallejo gloss coat or flat coat. I will be honest, I am not the biggest fan of Vallejo Gloss....it does slow and takes 24 hours to cure. Adding in the mixture only increases the curing time....which is not want you want. On a side-note: for gloss coat for decaling/weathering I recommend either Ak intermedate guazy agent and Alclad Aqua gloss. Both are acrylic, use straight from the bottle, low psi, should go on wet. Both go rock hard on in 50 mins and you can put oils on enamels on. If you plan to use
  7. Nice to hear that it is working for you. Yes, as I mentioned that adjust accordingly....but make sure include all 3 components for best results.
  8. If you mean recycling the thinned paint, I would not recommend that. The mixture makes the paint harder overtime and it will due to that to the paint in the bottle. But good thing is you can use Vallejo bottles to pour precisely as much as you need. A few drops goes a long long way.
  9. So I am seeing this question about airbrushing Vallejo come back up again and again. I created this mixture (many years ago ) working with professional artist to come up with something that works on all water-based acrylics (FYI: Tamiya is not a water-based acrylic). The formula has been tested on Vallejo, Ammo, AK, Mission Models, Humbrol, etc. The formula makes acrylic paint airbrush like a lacquer. It also makes the paint more resilent, in my videos you can see I handle the paint without hands and tape over it in just 15 mins. I created this article many moons ago and a YouTube
  10. You have numerous lacquer primer choices.....some in spray cans and some that need to be airbrushed: Spray can: _Mr. Hobby 1000 or 1500 (can opens) -AK Primer (spray can with both lacquer and acrylic option) Airbrush lacquer primer: -Tamiya primer thinned with Mr. Hobby Leveling thinner at 50/50 -Mr Surfacer 1000 or 1500 primer thinned with Mr. Hobby Leveling thinner at 50/50 -Alclad microfiller primer, airbrush ready from the bottle -AK lacquer primer, airbrush ready from the bottle I also recommend looking at acrylic spray can primers,
