Response to Vallejo

I'm a huge fan of Vallejo but I don't think they have, could be wrong because they have way over 400 separate products in their paint lines, anyway, I don't think Vallejo has a "dust" specific product. Lifecolour does. At least two Dust 1 and a slightly warmer dust 2. Both are available in their 6 bottle "rust" set and I assume they are available singly.
I've been testing them and the finish is quite beautiful. "BUT", always a "but", they have to be thinned down to more of a glaze, a very thin glaze, 5-10% "dust" and 95-90% acrylic thinner or distilled water. I prefer Gunze "Mr Thinner" right now. My problem with water is that it seems to "soap" up when mixed with an acrylic paint. The thinner alleviates that problem plus it flows better. 10% paint might be too much. The paint right out of the jar is simply white and light buff paint really=fully opaque. There is supposed to be some grit/tooth in all the rust set paints and there is but very subtle though visible and quite nice. I would recommend the whole set too.
I got my Lifecolour from John, "the tankrat"-he's seems to have all of the Lifecolour line
