Whether you need precise dilution, extended working time, or powerful cleaning action, this collection provides solutions for every stage of your painting process.

What’s in This Collection?

Our thinner collection includes trusted products from leading brands like AMMO by Mig Jimenez, ATOM, IONIC, Tamiya, GSI Creos, Mr. Hobby, Flake King, and MCW. You’ll find acrylic thinners for water-based paints, enamel thinners for washes and weathering products, and lacquer thinners for strong applications that demand maximum durability. Sizes range from small 20 ml bottles for detail work to larger 400 ml containers for frequent use, making it easy to pick exactly what fits your workflow. Some options, like IONIC Thinner with Retarder, are formulated to slow drying time, giving more control during application. Others, like AMMO’s Odourless Enamel Thinner, are ideal for sensitive users and indoor environments.

Benefits, Tips & Uses

Using the correct thinner not only improves paint flow but also prevents clogging in your airbrush, ensuring consistent atomization and a flawless finish. Acrylic thinners help achieve smooth coats and easy cleaning, while enamel thinners are essential for creating subtle weathering effects such as washes and streaks. Lacquer thinners provide the strongest performance for primers and base coats, offering durability and a resistant surface for further detailing. Remember to always match the thinner with its corresponding paint type for best results. For added flexibility, many of these thinners double as effective cleaners for brushes and airbrushes, extending the life of your tools.
