[@MrBoBoBo]

These videos have been so massively helpful

[@Baleandor]

Now I'm interested in a similar video for primers and top coats!

[@hinge777]

I use leveling thinner for pretty much everything I paint with. Love that stuff

[@ericdoman4100]

Truly appreciate everything you demo and show in your how to videos .

[@dtj9923]

This man speaks the truth! I was pretty unimpressed with the results I got spraying TruColor from my Iwata HP-C and HP-C+ Hi-Line until I started cutting it with Mr. Leveling Thinner. I usually spray it on pretty wet and now I get results that look like glass. It's now my favorite paint for gloss. Yes Floquil is sadly discontinued, you can thank the people at RPM/Testors for that. Luckily I have about 300 bottles! Scalecoat is actually a REALLY old model railroad paint line and it's fantastic paint. I have a ton of it on the shelf. Extremely high quality. I really appreciate your videos, they've helped me figure out how to make friends with TruColor and I love seeing all your paint test drives. ❤

[@geoffhipwell2198]

G'day, coming to you from 'Down Under'. I just want to thank you for all the tests & research you do. You answer all the questions I have as I'm just starting Airbrushing. Your knowledge & advice is invaluable. Thank you!!

[@jameshopkins2800]

You are the man. I hardly knew anything about airbrushing and you have filled me with so much info I'm grateful. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching. Thumbs up

[@apexhobbies]

My local hobby shop recommended this as well and I couldn't be happier with it! Managed to grab a couple extra bottles during a 25% off sale last year, too.

[@karmajp]

a thinner comparison video would be awesome! thank you for keeping the modeling hobby informed!

[@Emzy2608]

Your videos have given me the confidence to commit to painting gunpla for the first time. Thank you for all you do!

[@gaahleristudio]

Thank you for the brief showcase of Gaahleri. I am looking forward to your detailed usage review and hope that they pass your tests.

[@vortexmodeling]

Thank you! Had no idea it can thin Testors paint! I have both the thinner and the paint, didn't know what to do with Testors bottles I have and looks like I'll have fun now.

[@minutemanmac]

I'd switched to this about a year or so ago after seeing you use it and I love it. I spray TruColor on locomotives and it comes out so nice with the Mr. Color

[@gruvin4602]

Oh and I used that mr thinner for testors white gloss brush painting and with tamiya works like a charm thank u again sir for ur time and effort u put into all this😊

[@sw5494]

I was literally googling just minutes ago about which thinners to use with mr color gx uv cut & gaia notes ex-10 clear premium!! 😂 I’m assuming they’ll be in similar vein, this is so helpful. I always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks so much!

[@FosterZygote]

Love Mr. Color Leveling Thinner! I use it with Mr. Color, Tamiya Acrylic and Tamiya Lacquer. In fact Tamiya gloss black lacquer cut about 50% with Leveling Thinner is my new favorite undercoat for Alclad II and Super Metallics finishes.

[@sheldonnorton9035]

Precisely what I plan. Problem is it’s hard to get - on back order a lot.

[@gruvin4602]

What a game changer to brush paint with this mr color thinner 250 levels brush strokes out n8ce and flat very impress and all thanks to you and ur awsome videos tha I u very much for all you do for this hobby I appreciate it

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Been using the Mr thinner for a year or better but learned that it could be used more then what I was using it for thanks 👍

[@ChaosGossamer]

Great video thank you for sharing this advice ,I was not certain about the leveling thinner and help here at the hobby store is like pulling teeth when asking a question so thank you once again

[@wilzdart]

You posted a video about bringing back dried paint, A friend gave me a weathering set Polly-s paint. It was in chunks as I took it out of the jar( which still had the safety seat) I just cut it up in little pieces and added it back a little at a time with a 50:50 mix with the product you reviewed. To be honest I did have to use more than 50:50 but now I have paint. Yes I did use it through my airbrush and it came out perfect. Oh I already use the leveling thinner from this video and it does work great! Thanks!

[@wonsworld61]

hands down best reference guides on youTube

[@Me4king]

Love this bottle. It was insanely difficult to get during the pandemic, sold out everywhere when everyone was trapped at home getting into or back into hobbying.

[@millar876]

I’m a convert to this thinner, and coming round to solvent paints. Nice to know it works with humbrol enamel which is super easy to get in the UK. Sometimes it can be harder to get hold of mr hobby etc over here.

[@statoilbensin2190]

True, it really works with almost every acrylic lacquer and enamel paint that I have tried.

[@956miggz]

hell yea I pick it up every time I come across it!! I have three in stock just because it randomly gets hard to get and I wouldn't be happy without it.

[@michalgajdos7575]

Keep them coming, your videos are top notch!

[@enigmaticreverieproduction5169]

I’m so glad you made this video!!!! Keep doing teaching videos ;) I’m just starting out

[@thehazmatguy480]

I've been using big box store blue metal gallon container lacquer thinner for my thinning needs for a while. Before that, I used the same brand mineral spirits for Model Masters and Testors thinning. Because of this video / your recommendation, I recently bought Mr. Color Leveling Thinner and Rapid Thinner! Thanks for the tip! A video of cheap lacquer thinner like the big blue can with a leveling agent vs. Mr. Color would be an interesting video! Thanks again!

[@byronblack728]

Thank you for you helping us, by getting through the fluff.

[@lesgl]

I've recently taken to using the Tamiya version of Mr. Color Leveling Thinner..less smell and works just as well for thinning Mr Color paints..

[@CrimsonFlagg]

Hi guys. I hope all of you are doing well today.

[@francivalterlimapereira2943]

Não perco nenhum vídeo matérias pra pintura fantásticos só compro depois de ver vc usando é uma verdadeira aula.

[@amateurmodeler8208]

Tried Mr Leveling thinner, after seeing you use, it for the first time. Gave all my other thinners away after just using this once. I'm a total convert😀

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

Still very new to airbrushing but I'm having a real good time learning. I almost bought rapid thinner today to try out metallics for the first time. Decided to just use the leveling thinner I already have. Glad I did

[@randytaylor1258]

My only question about fast thinners is whether you risk the thinned paint drying in your airbrush during spraying. That's one of the advantages of using a delaying/self-levelling thinner.

[@MercurialMorpheus]

Never would have thought to use this with my model masters enamel. Gonna have to test that.

[@dragoonzen]

I have only use Mr. Color Leveling Thinner, it's amazing.

[@AliRadaa]

I use the levelling thinner with tamiya acrylic lacquers and they look great

[@KatzOhki]

The Rapid Thinner from Mr. Color is great for metallic and effects paints. Dries fast so the mica flakes stay put.

[@alancyr3100]

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

[@MichaelJones-sd9yc]

It works great as a paint stripper for plastic too!

[@ironbomb6753]

You have seriously beautiful colors there. I'm gonna try this thinner, might be the ticket. I've been using spirits and lacquer thinner from the hardware store.

[@randytaylor1258]

I have traditionally used lacquer thinner for cleaning my airbrushed because it cleans out everything. I had a bad bottle of Testors enamel dry inside my airbrush -- hard as rock. Lacquer thinner was the only thing that would touch it -- clean as a whistle.

[@yw9686]

Hardware store lacquer thinner might be too hot for plastic model kits like Gunpla. Hobby thinner would work well.

[@briannolasco4911]

Looking forward for a review on DOUBLE T Thinner (aka magic paint stripper) we call it here in the Philippines. One of my best thinner around next to Mr. Color Levelling Thinner. Thanks for this vid. Kudos!

[@rickgregory9616]

Thanks for this tip on the Leveling thinner. I'm methodically switching over to the Tamiya LP line stocking up on Lacquer thinner. The ratio I use for Tamiya is to add thinner to the bottle up to about where the neck rises up to the thread line, which seems to be ideal. Thanks again for this tip on the Leveling! Using only 1-thinner saves a lot of money and increases storage space! I'm more of a Tamiya user, though I do have some Vallejo, Mr. Color and Alclad II bottle of aluminum, I personally don't see the quality difference between Mr. Color and Tamiya - especially compared with Tamiya's LP series. Thanks!

[@willisjackson7029]

I use both Tamiya and Mr Color and they’re both great. The only thing that Mr Color has is more colors to choose from than Tamiya. If Tamiya would increase it’s selection then that would be great. What they really need to do is make all of their spray paint colors into the jar paints then I would be sold.

[@godfather1116]

Great stuff! I use it for everything!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Oh yeah, Awesome product

[@BrunenG_YT]

Leveling thinner is great, but I found a cheaper option that works great too, universal acrylic thinner from auto paint store, basically a thinner for 2k primers, 2k clear coats, and auto paints. they come in different "speeds", slower drying one, faster one and a normal. I buy them $5 per liter and for me it works as good as mr.color.

[@immanutt4442]

I spray finger nail paint (polish) and have only used the 400 Leveling Thinner even when staying thick metallics I have had no incidents accidents or mishaps ... so far - I do keep dehumidifier running and always check humidity also after painting my car body shells go into dehydrator 110 ° few hours

[@nickgorkov81]

Отличный обзор, давно интересовал этот вопрос, спасибо, теперь я знаю :) ! Ждем следующий с нетерпением !

[@TravisKelleher]

Thank you for your wealth of resources, so much to watch! Do you have a video about paint types 101? I'm trying to learn about what's the best type of paints to paint gunpla, and I see that there are a bunch of options. For instance water based acrylic, oil based enamel, lacquers etc. I'm looking for a resource to learn what's the best. Also looking for best practices in terms of using various paints on the same model or project. One point of interest is what paints are not to be sprayed over others etc. Do you have any paint kits or packages recommended for beginners?

[@davidsmithson9236]

Can’t wait for Gaahleri airbrush review(s). I’m intrigued.

[@roberthenderson2580]

I use it with Tamiya acrylics, and it works great.

[@modeltankguy]

good stuff keep them coming

[@christinley5213]

I enjoy when you share music with us!! dragon force is bad ass!!!!!! great vid thank you!!

[@worser]

Another great video as always!

[@brianth6554]

Great videos once again! I hope you do a review on ak dual exa line of paints!

[@mynock5012]

I'd be very interested in a Mr Rapid vs Mr Leveling test for metallics and clear coats.

[@13Jesko]

I haven't seen it but i 100% agree i thinn down 2k Automotive clear for my Modelcars with Mr levelling thinner this Shit is great!

[@stefanolsson1895]

I also use this product, it is great!

[@dragoonoly3084]

Them airbrush look nice looking forward for the review on them.

[@barbatosrex9473]

They're impressive for sure

[@mischief_machines]

Yes, magic stuff... Pretty much the only lacquer thinner I use for everything as well.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great minds think alike

[@HorstEisele-fj2sq]

Great Site, thanks. Greatings from germany. 😊

[@barbatosrex9473]

Hello my friend from the US 👋

[@darrellB.]

I have looked at those Gaahleri brushes and I am very interested in your thoughts and testing.

[@the_gravy_jones]

So, I looked up those airbrushes. I took a gamble before your review and ordered the pistol grip.

[@TheCld1981]

Well good to know, be saving money now

[@infernalsaxon]

What has been hard to acquire is the rapid thinner. Out of stock or can't afford it that week when it is available. But i do love mr hobby products.

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

The fast its good for matt varnish also.

[@Pratt-zp5mr]

Great video and i may have missed it in another of your videos. Is there a cheaper alternative to using this to clean out my airbrush between colors?

[@randytaylor1258]

Is there an advantage to using Mr. Color over Tamiya thinner for spraying Tamiya acrylics? Both are self-levelling and the rule of thumb has always been to use thinners and primers from the same paint line. I love your videos -- I'm always learning something new.

[@tommyrobledo1031]

Great info!

[@Electrobeam673]

Excellent thinner.

[@pankbot]

Gonna check out quantum twilight right now. Thanks for the recommendation. Looking forward to the new airbrush tests. Also if you ever get the opportunity can you review one of those small air compressors without a tank. Like the Iwata Ninja Jet? I have very little room for a larger compressor and something small would be helpful. I don’t see a lot of reviews on them. Thanks and have a good one.

[@randytaylor1258]

A compressor-fed tank is ideal for smooth airflow and quiet operation but many ar big enough to ride in, so I feel your frustration. Easy access means using your airbrush more.

[@pankbot]

@@randytaylor1258 it does. I have one of the battery operated airbrushes. It’s nice but I can’t swap brushes. I just purchased the Gaahleri compressor and waiting for it to arrive. Seems like a good size and the price was really good.

[@jamiegsscalemodelgarage3823]

Cool video thanks for sharing would like to get the power metal cd

[@modelcar1589]

I learned a lot

[@AdjointGaming]

Can't wait to see the same video for acrylics. I think that problem in Europe is that most of paints. thinners etc r more expensive because of sending fees or they are not all available. Maybe I am wrong since I use mostly Amazon to order ...

[@randytaylor1258]

That's WY local brick & mortar shops are so important.

[@AdjointGaming]

@@randytaylor1258 We don't have any :/ Small country. We mostly order from Amazon Germany.

[@willisjackson7029]

I brush paint with Mr Leveling Thinner and it works great! People are stunned when I tell them that I brush paint my models. 😊Happy building/modeling/painting!😊

[@benjirespect5818]

😂😂😂 si que sucede eso ...

[@bullitt773]

This thinner really is popular, I'm having trouble finding it in stock anywhere.

[@imrozgill9711]

great vedio ,with great knowledle , i have a little request for you , can you ease review the grex handle for airbrushes that nearly makes any airbrush like the colani .

[@PhillipJ]

Thanks, Great info…newbie here!

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome newbie Phil

[@CarlosTorres-ow9qr]

Rex , I have a problem with the Revell paint cans to glass jars I brought some from Amazon and they fry in it then I brought the tami ya jars and started this week to transfer pains any tips I think I ask you before

[@Singlecartest]

I love this stuff. anywhere I can buy by the case? I go through it so fast lol

[@joegkushner]

With Adeipticon coming up at the end of the month, any plans of putting together a recommended shopping list? I see some of your favorites are going to be there like Spray Gunner and Badger among others.

[@jamiegsscalemodelgarage3823]

Great video Rex where do you buy the thinner by the case

another great video.

[@Ryotsu2112]

Hello my friend!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Hello to you too

[@jayd19631]

thanks for all the videos. things have changed so much from when I was building models as a kid. I found my airbrushes a while back and then a 59 El Camino kit. this winter has been a brutal one in Montana so I needed something to stay busy and decided to start modeling again. I just set up a spray booth this weekend and will be painting soon as get back from the hobby store. I decided to stick with lacquer paints and then saw your video on Creatix paints as well as Mr. color. Thats what Im sticking with for now . Have you ever done anything on masking? liquid masks or tape? I had not seen anything in your videos yet

[@MrFish1968]

I'd love to see your review on the Gaahleri airbrushes, I can't find anything anywhere.

[@Bellerophonmodeler]

Unicorn tears! Some clever person came up with that nickname for Gunze Leveling Thinner, and I think the name fits.

[@gordon8753]

What leveling thinner would you recommend for acrylics like vallejo/ak interactive , mig ammo ? Tamiya is on it's own right?

[@willisjackson7029]

I’ve been wondering if you would do a Mr Rapid Thinner test and comparison to the Mr Leveling Thinner? I hope to see that.😊

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Can the Mr Color leveling thinner mix with acrylic craft paint as well?

[@erikgarciavasquez364]

Great Channel, just getting started in the hobby, reading and watching for now. How does this thinner work with rattle can paint? Rattle can Primer? Rattle can filler primer? Thanks

[@barbatosrex9473]

This will work with any solvent paint. Works great with rattle can primers too

[@dustinbuckley30]

I have a question I airbrushed for the first time and my color is not matching g what it should be I used the correct color I seen another guy use his color came out correct mine was alot darker than it should u have any ideas

[@jetpack5]

Ive never had it. Does this form a bubble if you shake it or stay completely flat? I use simple green in straight cheap lacquer thinner. Less than 1/2%. Huge difference, no issues.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Consider Splash Paints for auto kits. Tons of car colors, super easy to paint and awesome results. Mr Color is a great paint too and they're very inexpensive. The Vallejo will not give you the results you're looking for. You'll be shocked how easy it is to paint lacquers

[@stevenshea990]

I didn’t realize it can thin oil-based enamels. How does it compare to using the usual mineral spirits or sansodor?

[@iliad2025]

can i use mr color thinner not the leveling one? will it work the same? i already bought it before in countering this video( im just new to this hobby)

[@matthewgonzalez3567]

Would leveling thinner work with green stuff world paints?

[@deputy3690]

Another wonderful video! When using Lacquers or nail polish, will it craze the older or newer styrene without using primer? If so, what primers do you have success with?

[@LiveforHM]

Barbatos Rex has used lacquers on bare polystyrene and Lincoln Wright has as well. It works well if that is what youre asking

[@deputy3690]

@huge galaxy brain It is what I'm asking and I also should have mentioned if that's also true on the old styrene kits going back 30 years

[@LiveforHM]

@@deputy3690 i dont know, perhaps testing on a runner could work.

[@johnblack9885]

I’ve revived dried up acrylic paints like Testors Model Master with this stuff. So solvent based paints only? No go on Vallejo?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I find Vallejo tricky so I only use their own thinner

[@KevinJohnson-ge5xs]

Scalecoat has been my absolute favorite paint for over 40 years (I'm primarily a model railroader). When the owner of Weaver Models retired, he sold the rights and formulas to Minuteman Scale Models in Massachusetts. Due to "environmental restrictions", MSM moved to the more business friendly New Hampshire. Regrettably, late last year Shawn became ill and the business has closed. While a lot of stores still have stock, there currently will be no new production. I don't know if Shawn is planning on re-opening the business or selling on the rights. PS: You can tell the old, old stock from the new, old stock by the lid. The older bottles have a metal lid, the newer bottles have a plastic "child-proof" cap.
