It will give most paints a run for there money. but as others have said sometimes Enamel works best depending on the look you are going for.
    Funny you say that, John advised me to use Screenwash as a "between colours" cleaner, but said to use a good product for an "End of session cleaner". I mentioned it in a local shop and he winched at first then couldnt disagree

      I spray Vallejo Model Color acrylics with out to much hassle through a 0.25 I thin with their airbrush thinners.

      I find that the finish is good and with the correct thinner/paint ratio they do not dry to quick on the needle either.

        On screenwash I would be careful to make sure the type used is non toxic.

        I tried the stuff "once" which resulted in a headache of headaches. Then I read the label on the back of the container.

            No Patrick not antifreeze but I read at the time some additive is put in "some" screen washes to prevent freezing in the winter. I threw away the stuff after my experienced symptoms I had so cannot quote the "watch out warning notices" Certainly enough to put me off plus the headache and nausea. Apart from the experienced symptoms I thought it not wise to use the stuff. I decided that all this stuff flying around in the air was not for me. Not to forget that the additives may be acceptable, I suppose, when normally the screen washer is diluted approx 15 times for its proper use.
