<div>I use an airbrush at about 15 psi. You thin them 60-40 (40
is thinner). Rail center also has as acrylic thinner. I use
all their stuff (or ammo which is the parent paint brand).</div>

<div dir="auto">Rail center acrylics self level, you can brush
them. It takes more time, but if you keep the brush stokes in
one direction and a second coat with strokes in another it's
good. Don't thin them if you do that </div>

<p>Is there a particular color on the market or
from Floquil/Polly S that closely matches the
tuscan or whatever it's called on the heavy
weight passenger cars? Also, where might I
find decals for those cars? Thanks, Walter
Davis, modeling in Youngsville NC. Anybody
out there modeling in HO nearby?<br>
