    • Amazing for 3D printed projects
Color: Dark Brown
Great paint for the value it's ready to spray but I recommend using a few drops of thinner drys with the perfect sheen durable and looks amazing the colors are rich and it cleans up in a snap it sprays very well and gives nice even coats and the bottles go a very long way and considering the price of tiny bottles at Hoby stores you can't beat the value for a high quality paint a must have for 3D printing projects and basically anything you want to paint no harsh fumes either over all great ... show more

    • 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.

    • Not for all colors.
Color: Airbrush Thinner
This is a good thinning agent for airbrushing, or old acrylic craft paints that have thickened due to drying in the bottle. It's not good for thinning all colors though. It's a whitish colored thinner/reducer, and it will cause some colors to change. For example, it turned every purple acrylic paint, that I tried it on, into a pastel tone of purple. It only has that effect on a few colors, so I recommend testing it on a small amount of the paint you are trying to thin/reduce. ... show more

    • 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

    • A good product, but its better when it doesn't arrive in a damaged container
Color: Airbrush Thinner
This product is very effective at thinning out the paint, particularly for closer sprays, but this recent bottle showed up with the cap absolutely obliterated. The unrelated airbrush cleaner, in a similar bottle and packaged in the same box, was just fine and intact.
