That's a great question. I would say "yes," but I'm not entirely sure. I think it's similar in chemistry to the Mig stuff I showed. However, just taking a stab in the dark and always be sure to test, test, and test before you spray anything on finished builds!
Can you tell me at what ratio did you mix the splash paints primer with the mr. Color leveling thinner and I'm guessing you didn't use the activator it came with. Corrrect....
Hi! I mixed the Splash primer at 1:1 however, I’ve moved on to using exclusively Mr. Surfacer 1500 for my primers. Check out another one of my videos titled “the perfect primer” for more info. Thanks!
You can but, I don't recommend it. I've had a number of paints "go bad" when I left thinner mixed in the jar. It could be for a number of reasons however, I feel like I am playing it safe by mixing it in a cup.
What H&S brush? I got the eclipse 0.2 last december,still have'nt run it yet.My old Neo is stuck to my hand for some reason.Ordered some Nr C,levelling thinner.Cheers.
On amazon I’ve seen that Mr hobby also makes a Cleaner but is the leveling thinner just as good as the cleaner by mr hobby to get rid of paint/airbrush cleaning? Also what psi do u recommend for shooting primer/colors ?
Oh, just use 91% alcohol for cleaning, don’t waste your lovely thinner! I start at 18psi and adjust from there. I typically adjust down, less pressure to me means more control.
Most paints are acrylics, as I understand it. There is this tendency in the model building community to refer to water based as "acrylics" - This gets people in to trouble, fx when they mix alcohol with Valllejo paints... I hope soon all model builders will refer to paints by medium (solvent) so Vallejo would be water based paint, Tamiya 23ml would be water/alcohol, Tamiya Enamel I think is miineral spirits and MR. Hobby cellulose thinner. MR Hobby Levelling Thinner is great, and I think the nozzle of H&S Airbrushes help to avoid clogging, they are bigger and I imagine that helps keep it from drying too quick
Yeah I’m the same way I like to keep the same name brand of everything I use got to keep it in the family LOL this video was very hurtful just got into airbrushing gundams model
Hi, please check out my other video "The Perfect Primer" for a demo! I'm also working to release a complimentary video titled "The Perfect Paint," stay tuned!
I would suggest dont use pippete for paint extraction from mr.surfacer primer. Cleaning that pippete is hell. Fine filler particles from primer will stick inside pippete and then its very hard to get it out.
Good to know! Do you use pre-thinned paints or just drop them straight into your AB and start painting? Admittedly, I just started watching another channel where the builder puts straight Mr. Surfacer 1500 into their AB with no thinning, so I'm curious, thanks!
I dont know if this a bit late but When it comes to enamels More specifically testors (the one's I have) Metalic enamel + mr color thinner= smooth Non metalic enamel + mr c thinner = thick paint Bonus Metalic enamel + mr c tool cleaner = clean Non metalic +mr c tool cleaner = goop If you ever need to clean an airbrush run enamel thinner tru first then mr c tool cleaner For some reason it brings up all the residue that the enamel thinner missed without making goop
I would agree, testors /model master enamels work beautifully with mr color leveling thinner, I use hardware store brand lacquer thinner and acetone to clean between colors
Great thinner, great - GREAT primer that Mr Color stuff
You can thin
mig with the mr.color level???!!
Does the Mr Leveling thinner work with the tamiya surfacing primers? The ones which come in the bottles
Yes it does have a play around,you will never find the answer,provide your own solution that works for you
@MrFelipefelop ok thanks for the reply
Anyone know if this thinner works well with Model Master acryl ?

How do you recommend thinning Tamiya for hand brushing detail areas? Thanks for your helpful video.
Use a retarder and a flow improve at the same time in your thinner mix,small amounts experiment on scrap,sorted over time
Leveling thinner is magic. What BOS were you in?
I love it too! What does BOS mean? Thanks for the comment!

Will the x 20a work for thinning mr color acrylic paints?
That’s a good question, I don’t think I would try it. MCLT is a damn near perfect product and you’ll get a lot of mileage out of just one bottle.
@@machomodelz3954 can i just use water?
I wouldn’t. If you’re really in a pinch or want to save money, you can thin your paints with 91% alcohol too.
Instead of mixing the leveling thinner into a little cup with surfacer can u just add the leveling thinner straight into a jar of paint ?
You can but, I don't recommend it. I've had a number of paints "go bad" when I left thinner mixed in the jar. It could be for a number of reasons however, I feel like I am playing it safe by mixing it in a cup.

it turns vallejo paint into goo. i havent had good resluts with that and acrylics.
A year later, this is why I came here. Vallejo primer turns to thick goo with Mr Color, for anyone coming for the same reason.
thanks a lot for the info, 1:1 mr.color leveling thinner is the secret !

Hey, thanks for the note! I simply throw away these pipettes after using them once.
@@machomodelz3954 I'm no suprised at all😀
I know they are cheap, but not as the toothpicks😉
waste of time never mixed any paint

@@machomodelz3954 i pour to a empty bottle a and thin them
I dont know if this a bit late but
When it comes to enamels
More specifically testors (the one's I have)
Metalic enamel + mr color thinner= smooth
Non metalic enamel + mr c thinner = thick paint
Bonus
Metalic enamel + mr c tool cleaner = clean
Non metalic +mr c tool cleaner = goop
If you ever need to clean an airbrush run enamel thinner tru first then mr c tool cleaner
For some reason it brings up all the residue that the enamel thinner missed without making goop
This is a great tip! I have been eyeballing Mr. Color Tool Cleaner for sometime and I will absolutely check it out, thanks again!!!
