Response to All Depends on the Lacquer Thinner...

I'll second Scott's experience with Hardware Store lacquer thinner. The Tamiya separated and became a mess.

Tamiya Lacquer Thinner is the best for airbrushing hands down. I was skeptical at first having used 91% rubbing alcohol for years, but the Tamiya Lacquer Thinner is tops and I can airbrush the finest of lines without clogging. It does dry a little slower than alcohol, but has a harder more durable finish.

Because of the cost, I only use it for thinning the paints, never for clean up. For that I'll use alcohol or the hardware store lacquer thinner.

Their lacquer thinner should not be used for hand brushing though. You will dissolve paint down to the bare plastic.
