Well I bought a athearn model last week and I put it together and got
out my airbrush to give it a quick weathering job this weekend, but ran into
some problems. I use the Floquil Polly Scale water based paint. I haven't had my paint
out for a couple of month and I made sure to mix it up well. I put a little
airbrush thinner (the kind for floquil paint) in a jar then put some paint
in with a dropper. Once I got my dropper cleaned out I was heading over to
start airbrushing and noticed the paint had clumped all up onced mixed with
the airbrush thinner.
After retrying because I thought I had a bad mix it happened again and I
had even taken a panty hoe and strained the paint first thinking I had dry
chunks in it. The pigment still seperated. So I proceded to do 100% straight
paint to airbrush and it got the job done, but has my paint went bad or is
it the thinner? My dullcoat I used wasn't floquil and it mixed with the
thinner alright. I use Model master dullcoat.
