B2Blain Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I am going to try Tamiya's laquer paint. I was wondering if I can use Mr. Leveling Thinner as I have a lot of it. Or do I need to purchase Tamiya's Laquer thinner? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 It works well with either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Happy Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I concur with goondman I haven’t had any problems mixing MLT with Enamels.  I’ve mixed it with Humbrol , Old Pactra Enamels  & even Tamiya Acrylics with out any problems whatsoever. I’ve even mixed it with decanted Krylon Spray caned paints…No problems.  As one kid at the Los Vagas Nationals said ; “I put that s#!t on everything!’’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I warn against MM acrylic and lacquer thinner. Something in the lacquer makes the MM paint seize up and turn into dry blobs which will clog your air gun. Model master acrylic paints and touchy at the best of times, it's like they have some kind of latex in them but they are especially unkind to lacquer thinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom726 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Tamiya laquer paint thins very well with MLT. However, when using Tamiya's own laquer thinner I seem to notice an even smoother and resistent finish. MLT also mixes with (most) enamels but my experience is that the dried paint is less durable compared to using enamel thinners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B2Blain Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thank you for confirming. Mr. Leveling thinner is great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
