Thinning cuts the color also - if the paint gets too thick to spray easily use createx airbrush extender. The color willhold and the paint will flow easily. Tobias is right - there is usually no need to thin createx.

If you are having trouble spraying paint it usually is the pressure used or a dirty needle or airbrush.

I find I often need to thin Createx. There is a wide variability in viscosity from color to color and batch to batch. I also have better control when the paint is thin and I can spray at lower pressures. I thin with Liquidtex air brush medium and aim for the viscosity of milk. I've been curious as to what others do.
