Hi chaps
A project I am working on in the background demands that I need to use some paint that is only available in Tamiya TS Spray colours. I need to brush paint very small areas with it.
I can decant some of the TS paint into a jar but I assume it is a different composition to their normal paint so what do I thin it with?
Thanks guys.

Hi Prof....as Chris says,no need to thin it....but you'll need 2 or 3 coats at least,if your using a hairy brush.

Hi chaps, thank you for your contributions. Dicky, Tamiya TS (being aerosol) is a different composition to their jar Acrylics and the colours (metallics I'm interested in) are typically only available in spray formats so I just needed to be sure I didn't turn what I had decanted into some semi solid gloop because I didn't add the correct thinning agent.

Also, if you decant---don't forget to leave the jar open to the air for a short amount of time to let the propellant gas time to "gas off." For some reason that sentence seems poorly constructed.... As far as thinning it, I've never had to.

Just breaking in to the TS colours so can help Mence, sounds like you've got some good advice anyway
