Hey guys,

Ive seen alot of different discussions on this topic but im still not completely sure.
My question is would it be possible to use Mr color Levelling thinner both with Mr color, Mr hobby aqueous and Tamiya acrylic paints.
I know it is possible to use x20a with Mr hobby aqueous and Tamiya as thats what I use now but I would like to get Mr color paints aswell and I would like to use Mr color levelling thinner for the paint retarder and levelling properties.

Thank you

Tamiya acrylic sprays absolutely perfectly diluted with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner....and I mean holy S! what a difference.
That is my go to paint method to be honest

I have personally used Mr Hobby stuff, both the regular thinner and recently the levelling thinner, with Tamiya Acrylics and Mr Colour stuff.
I have not use the mr hobby aqueous stuffs not all that available in Canada.

The levelling thinner seems to be a really good product and a hot topic at the moment. I do try to stay within manufacturing companies when using paints as that is often how they are made to work. Reading a label once in awhile and following directions helps too.

Hope that helps a bit
