acrylics paints basically have 2 types..one is water based and the other is solvent based...

water base is those of gunze sangyo aqueos paints....and tamiya is alcohol based ..since alcohol can can disolve in water, then it can be said water base...but the term is not 100% correct... to replace tamiya thinner, u can use IPA (isopropyl alcohol )...water alone will work but will not get good finishing job...

the other type of acylics paints is solvent based...example gunze Mr Color range...this one is lacquer based acylics..and u have to use mr.thinner to thinned them...household thinner cap kuda belang can be used but no recommended..........

cap kuda belang thinner can use to clean your airbrush with no problem right?

me almost 20th or maybe 22th project already with my mini compressor..
if you take good care of it..it will last long one la..the same with your airbrush..no problem with mine so far..always use less then 15min per session..then rest 15min..

btw..taking care of airbrush and cleaning them are very pain is the ass..very damn hard..but it worth it cause it will last longer with proper caring

seriously..sparmax is already good enough if you just wanna paint model or other not so serious airbrushing..

i been using it for some times already now..and dont have a problem with it..but of cause..u really need to take care of it la..clean it every single time after you done using it..

and also its better to get a full compressor instead of the mini one..im using the mini one..and sometimes..it can spray out water when you wanna do fine lining..

yes..it spray water when too long of using..
even after 15min use then rest..if it still hot a bit..it still can spray water unless you can wait till it really cool down..

when your AB start to spray out water..that its time for you to give your compressor a break..let it cool donw first before continue..when the compressor get hot..it start to spray water..this mostly happen for those with mini compressor like mine..

try to plan before you AB..usually one session of 15 min like that..just finish the whole color is your gun cup..then after it finish spray normal thinner just to clean the inside gun and to prevent clog. dont rush when AB..not only you will ruin your precious model..but also wasting the color..get those small air tight empty bottle..to store your extra color for next time..

mr hobby empty bottle is insane to buy as it cause rm12 just for that stupid empty bottle..
