Has any one used the little 1/4 oz bottles of Testers acrylic paint? If so are they any good, and what do you mix them with? Alcohol, Future??

Thanks Richard

Richard,

I have not used the 1/4 oz acrylics however I think I remember seeing technical guide pdf’s at the testor website. I hope this helps.

Rich, I think they’re just ok. You can thin them with water or alchohol. Good luck!

I have not used the 1/4 oz bottles but I do use the Testor’s Acrylics and while you can thin them with water or alchol they work best if you use the Testor’s thinner. I have actually been using Tamiya thnner but basically water, and expecially alchol will cause excessive tip dry when airbrushing. The thinners have a retardant that prevents this. A small 1/2 bottle has lasted me for almost a year. A couple drops is all you need when doing a small paint job.
