I just found a dusty bottle of this stuff in my basement and have no idea what it actually is. I’ve never seen much less used their paint and don’t even know if it’s enamal or acrylic. Obviously I bought the thinner but have no recall of doing it or why. Can it be used for any other brands of paint? I mostly use Model Master enamals and Tamiya acrylics. The only part of the label that’s in English says it’s 100% organic solvent, whatever the hell that means,
It’s a thinner for “Mr. Color” acrylic lacquer paint. Basically a lacquer thinner. I only use it with Mr Color lacquer paints, and it works fine there.
The “250” refers to the size of the bottle: 250 ml.
Thanks for the info. It looks like I bought 250 ml of something I don’t need. As in so many other things I’ve done I wonder why?
You can use it for thinning Tamiya acrylics.
Mr Thinner will also work well with AK Real Color paints.
As mentioned it will work with Tamiya acrylics. Also MM or other enamels. Try it, test it out, you might like it. Mr Leveling thinner would be even better.
Just as an aside, Mr Color Thinner 250 retails at about $25.00 AUD here in Australia.

Have you tried Mr Thinner with enamels? That’s not a combo I’ve heard of… I’d definitely say test in a safe container with any enamel or any acrylic not listed like Gunze, Tamiya, and Real Color.
It can also be used to thin model putty.
You can use thinned putty with a junkie brush to stipple on cast metal texture too.
Lacquer thinner thins enamels well which is basically my standard now when I shoot enamel… But that’s why I said test it out because I had not spefically used this one in enamel. It should be fine and he has both products to try out… I switched from Mineral Spirits or Testors own thinner to either a combo of mineral spirits and paint thinner which works very well too, or straight hardware store lacquer thinner to thin enamels a few years ago. Lately I just go for the LT.
Thanks for all the replies. I’ve learned a lot, not the least being that maybe I wasn’t being foolish when I bought the stuff years ago. I’d assumed it would work with Tamiya acryl but never thought about enamel. I’ll give it a try and see what happens.
