  5. Ok i have finally found the solution to the problem for anyone living in N America who cannot get thinners from the UK for Railmatch Acrylic paints here is the answer, PACTRA RC5900 Thinners 75% paint 25% thinners works perfect. David Cooke Snr A Brit in the USA
  6. Well I contacted Howes and they confirmed they cannot ship the Thinniers ,I will keep on experimenting. I checked into Lifecolour Acrylics they are sold over here and I am making a few enquiries. Thanks for all the help David A Brit in the USA
  7. When you open railmatch paint new what consistancy should the paint be, I have just opened the 3rd container and its like a different paint, the first two where like a thick enamel the third the consistancy of milk ???. David A Brit in the USA

  9. Thanks for all the suggestions, I am a Pro model painter in the USA and I am running out of Phoenix Paint enamels so I have to use Railmatch Acrylics for British Models. I thank you for all your suggestions but the problem we have in the USA at the moment on the import side has changed Tamiyas Acrylic Thinners no longer available I think for the same reason as Railmatch Thinners not allowed to be imported, I have tried various suggestions from the internet and various of my own concoctions to use as Thinners but with no success I simply cannot get a smooth finish.
