I have never thinned it and sometimes don't even clean the air brush when I'm done. Dullcote has something about it that you could put 100 coats on a model and it won't hide the details.
Well I do thin them (as shown in the earlier photo about 7 parts lacquers to 6 parts lacquer thinner), I spray several wet coats with a fairly wide open nozzle, and I get great results. Not sure about psi, but I almost never go over 20 psi with my Badger 200 siphon-fed airbrush. I suspect that a 50/50 mix would work just as well.
I have to say that I've never been entirely satisfied with the rattle can version of Dullcote. I recently tried Tamiya TS-80 Flat Clear in a rattle can and greatly prefer it.
Thanks for the info Pete... I've been using my airbrush more and more lately and I now have a need to spray some Dullcote to protect acrylic paint for weathering treatment. So this info will come in handy.Hard to believe someone is spraying Dullcote and not bothering to clean out the airbrush... How do you get away with that??! My youngest son did a half assed job cleaning acrylic out of my airbrush a few weeks back and it was gummed up solid. Took about an hour soaking in Acetone to free things up!JB
Is it just as flat?
synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time.
