Jeff and I spoke about this situation using non createx paint. I mixed the paint 50/50. I accurately mix small amounts using a 10cc syringe. I draw up 5 cc of paint, 2.5cc of water and 2.5 cc windex. The mix looks thin but looks aren't what you go by. Spraying the paint shows your mix is good. If your gun shoots water then you need thinner paint and I did notice some acrylics need 30lbs to shoots. with this 50/50 most colors for detail shoot @ 15lbs. Createx paint I also cut. I too have a 3.5mm Harbor Freight airbrush which requires warm milk flow. Yes we all go thru " airbrush hell". If rattle cans didnt smell, I wouldn't go crazy with the airbrush. The combos of detail looks great but heck it's "fish bait".
