BraggPeak Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I used to spray Alclad Aqua gloss straight out of the bottle, but it is a bit thick. Sometimes it is hard to get a good panel line wash with thick layers. I was wondering if anyone thin the auqa gloss for airbrushing? I just get Vallejo Premium airbush matt and satin varnish, do they need to be thinned as well ? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is ready for use straight out of the bottle and lays down flat. Are you perhaps spraying it on to thickly? Also as far as thinning it...I don't think it is recommended. When I use Aqua gloss, never ever need to thin it it. As far as Vallejo Flat/Gloss, I normally thin it 50/50 for airbrushing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Etendard Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Depending on the temperature, Aqua Gloss can spray thin or thick. Sometimes there may be no rhyme or reason to it...I have had success thinning it with both Tamiya Lacquer Thinner or just plain alcohol. Any thinning agent should be used sparingly until you feel confident about what you are doing. Good Luck and Model On... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been spaying it at 16-19 psi, so it is probably too low thus the paint doesn't spread out enough. Someone suggested spraying at >20psi , will give that a try.
