Can I use Tamiya X-20A with other brands of acrylic paint?

While it may work, Tamiya X-20A is specifically formulated for Tamiya X acrylic paints. Using it with other brands may affect the paint's performance and finish.

How much thinner should I use?

How do I clean my airbrush after use?

Disassemble your airbrush and thoroughly clean each part with X-20A. Pay special attention to the nozzle and needle.

Can I use X-20A for other purposes?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not spraying smoothly from the airbrush.

Ensure the paint is thinned correctly with X-20A. Adjust the thinner-to-paint ratio and clean the airbrush nozzle.

Paint is clumping or drying too quickly.
