  • Good product
Color: Airbrush Thinner
Works as expected, no spoilage and thin the paint properly, good product.

  • Good value for the money
Color: Airbrush Thinner
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I’ve been using the U.S. Art Supply Airbrush Thinner for a few weeks now, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It thins acrylic paint smoothly and helps prevent clogging in my airbrush. The consistency is good and doesn’t affect the paint color or finish. It works well with multiple brands of acrylics, not just their own. I also like that it comes in a decent-sized 16 oz bottle—it lasts a while. The price is fair for the quality. If you’re looking for a reliable thinner for airbrushing acrylics, this is a solid choice. ... show more

Big bottle with ample amount for multiple uses, works well, as intended for brush cleaner and for acrylic paint thinner/ mixer. I like it a lot.

  • Good value for the amount of money
Color: Airbrush Thinner
It arrived on the day as scheduled. The content was well protected. The liquid is not transparant but it has a kind of milky colour. I haven't used it yet but it should help to make the paint flow better when you use an airbrush.

  • Meh, it’s not great
Color: Airbrush Thinner
Ok, I wanna preface this by saying that, I’m not using this airbrush medium to put paint through an airbrush machine. I’m using it to thin acrylic paint for paintings so that the paint moves more smoothly along the canvas. I’ve used airbrush medium for this for awhile, and it’s been working perfectly! Until I got this one. I’m not sure what exactly the difference is with this medium. It definitely thins the paint, but it’s almost like the paint doesn’t want to mix with the medium? It kinda gets weird and chunky, and eventually it will mix, but it takes waaaayyyy longer than my other mediums. The main issue though, is that I like to mix up custom colors for larger art pieces and keep them in airtight jars. With other airbrush mediums the paints have kept fine, and there have been no issues. But with this one the paint and the medium separate after about a day, and after about a week the paint is hard in the jar, and the airbrush medium is just looking gooey and gross sitting in there. It’s REALLY weird, because I’ve had paints without ANY airbrush medium in jars for over a year, and they’re as good as the day I made them, so I have no clue why this medium made the paint dry up? It’s strange. I would have given it 1 star, but I gotta take into account that I’m not technically using this for it’s intended purpose, so I can’t judge it too harshly. Imma go back to the old airbrush medium I was using for sure. ... show more
