Yo guys,

I wanna ask, whats the best way to maintain the brushes after use. I mean, like how you guys clean it? Currently, i poured out a bit of Mr. Color thinner 50 and washed the brush in it. After that, i just let it dry.

So, am i doing the right thing? I bought 2 brushes from a hobby shop in sushine plaza. Not cheap eh...

Oh, i also read that the use of Acrylic should use battery water, Mr. Thinner etc., as the solvent. Is 'Mr. Thinner' and 'Mr. Color Thinner' the same thing?

I was also told that i should mix the acrylic paints with tap water and some dish washing detergent. Does anybody know the reason for this?

Thanx for the explanation fyire.

Anybody can help me clear my doubt of my other queries (regarding thinner and maintaining the brush) ?

Hei guys,

I am currently using Tamiya's white acrylic paint and i got problem colouring my SD kits white. How i use it?

Ok, first i shake the bottle. Then i use an unused toothpick to dip into the bottle took out a bit of paint and put it on the pallet. I will dip the toothpick in and out until i have the desirable amount of paint in the pallet. After that, i will just add a drop of water and start mixing, then painting.

BUT, when i add water or thinner to it, the paint becomes extremely dilute. The paint doesn't stick on the kit. Its like water on plastics. I even try adding some washing detergent and ended up with bubbles on the kit. If i dun use any thing, the paint becomes extremely difficult to paint.

If i mix the colours, like white and black, white and blue, its fine... almost perfect.

Is something wrong with my process or the paint?
