Micro-Mark acrylics spray smoothly through an airbrush right out of the bottle, but for fine detail, thin coats, or high-flow applications, thinning is essential. Use the 20ml Airbrush Thinner to customize the flow and performance of your airbrush-ready paints. Designed specifically for thinning water-based acrylics for airbrushing Enhances atomization for smoother, more even spray patterns Maintains color vibrancy while improving flow and reducing tip dry Slows drying slightly to reduce clogging and overspray Made in the USA Description Micro-Mark Airbrush Thinner is formulated to work with our acrylic paint line and other water-based hobby paints. It ensures reliable spray performance, even through fine nozzles and at low PSI. This thinner improves atomization, reduces dry-tip buildup, and allows for smoother transitions, perfect for gradients, preshading, or modulation. Use it to adjust paint viscosity depending on the scale, surface, and detailing needs.

Test Spray First• Spray on a test surface to check consistency, spray pattern, and coverage.• Adjust PSI (typically 15–25) and thinner ratio to suit your nozzle and effect. Spray Your Model• Use sweeping motions and build up in thin layers.• The thinner helps eliminate spatter and clogs while improving fine control. Clean Your Airbrush• Rinse with water first, then flush with Airbrush Thinner or Micro-Mark Airbrush Cleaner.• Disassemble and clean nozzle if buildup is visible. Tips for Best Results • Don’t exceed 1:1 ratio unless aiming for very transparent effects.• Use with a gravity-feed or dual-action airbrush for maximum control.• Shake thinner well before use.• Store thinned paint only short-term to avoid pigment separation.
