fiftyfour fiftyfour Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Anybody any ideas on how to thicken enamel paint? I have a newly purchased Railmatch jar and its like water, even after very thorough stirring. It was thin enough to run through the airbrush without ANY thinners added and is far too thin for brushing use. Help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Hedges Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 You could try adding some varnish.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally find paint is at its best if you never attempt to use it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up having to go for three coats, not something i normally expect to do when brushing- won't get Railmatch again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be aiming for multiple thin coats, rather one or two thick ones. Edited March 29, 2020 by Darren Hedges 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAILRAGE Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Only experienced that on two pots of Railmatch paints and Ive been using them for the best part of 30 years. My two culprits were Royal Mail Red and EWS Yellow. I once had the complete opposite with their Matt Black which no matter what I did came out like clotted cream!
