Personally I think Tamiya acrylics are one of the best paints to spray around. Used with their X-20a thinners I find that it gives an excellent coverage and drying time.

Just to add to the posts.....I only brush paint, and the paint that gives me consistently good - by my standards anyway - results is Vallejo Model Colour Acrylics, these I thin with water with no problem.
I have tried Tamiya with no success whatsoever, again applied with a brush.Comment

I use Tamiya paints almost exclusively, and always by brush. I once bought a bottle of "Tamiya approved" thinner for like 12$, but it was no more effective than tap water. (joke on me). I just thin them using normal paint thinner. Nothing fancy or special, and I'm probably breaking a rule somewhere, but I find it works.Comment

You'll have to let me into your secret Steve, as I've tried brushing it without success. I even bought a bottle of Tamiya Retarder which I was told would help, but it didn't really.
Tamiya's own-brand lacquer thinners work superbly with their acrylics, too; they seem to dry harder and more quickly than their regular acrylic thinner.Personally I think Tamiya acrylics are one of the best paints to spray around.

I've not tried it myself, but as a suggestion, how about a retarder to slow the drying process to give you time to brush it on. Just a couple of drops should do it.
Has anyone tried it?
Just a thought...Comment

My post (above) just crossed with Mike's (The Migrant), so perhaps a retarder isn't suitable
