I'm puzzled....

I've thinned Mr. Color paints with lacquer in the past with no issues. Tonight, airbrushing Mr. Color with lacquer thinner is throwing me a cobweb like finish. The color I used is fairly new since I bought last summer.

I've noticed Mr. Color being on thick side upon opening the bottle. I had about half bottle left of the paint.

I thinned it down as much as I can to density of skim milk, yet still came out with cobwebbing finish.

My older Mr. Color paints never gave me an issue.

My cellar is comfortable temps where my airbrushing is done.

Any ideas why?

I think I tried lacquer thinner first and didn't have good results. Solid performance with their leveling thinner though.

I’ve had it happen as well with that brand/type of paint. Not sure what causes it, but it has kind of put me off the brand.

I've always sprayed it with leveling thinner and never had an issue

Then its the lacquer thinner that's doesn't play nice with Mr. Color paints...

Not all lacquer thinners are equal. I have had no issues with the type I am using and have never had any issues with Mr Color enamels. I do occasionally use their Leveling thinner but usually with Tamiya acrylics.

I would use Mr Leveling Thinner (aka Unicorn Tears).
