Holy Cow! I take it you're not the kind of person buys things on an "as needed" basis... (I'm the same way) My recommendation for you is to buy a bunch of 2oz bottles so you can start thinning your paints down.
1. Do the bottles need to be glass? 2. "x" drops of paint + "x" drops of thinner = awsome!! solve for "x"
You'll have to experiment with the ratios... flourescent paints need more thinning than regular colors. Just keep testing the paint mixtures until you don't get the spider webbing.
Ventilation is key with these, Tman- use a respirator mask, and spray in a well-ventilated area! If you want, you can even design your own hood/filter thingie using a box fan and some filter material from Home Depot taped to one side, to suck the overspray away from you. Can't wait to see what you do with these! -Mike
it never fails... as soon as I want to start spraying, my cat always decides to visit me in the garage.
Yeah I have a spot in the garage by a window and a fan rigged to suck out the evil. I picked up a respirator as well. Now all I need is a few days off so I can dig in!! Just out of curiosity for those who have used this stuff, The bottles I recieved are all just slightly over half full is this the norm or did I get raped.
Naw, you're okay... the important thing is the pigment at the bottom of the paint bottles. Usually, the clear part that separates in the bottles is just the thinner. You're going to need to add a ton of thinner anyway, so it's not a big deal.
Get some paper cups (NON plastic or wax lined) and wooden coffee stir sticks from smart and final. Another thing to use is a Pipette for moving the thinner to airbrush for cleaning or mixing. A bit of that paint goes a long way.
I'd recommend just getting a bunch of bottles so you don't have to keep mixing each time you want to paint... I got a bunch of bottles with droppers so it's easy to just drip the paint into my airbrush and you don't have to worry about the paint smelling up the joint or evaporating.

Finally got to break these out and man am I impressed I love em!!! I dont know how I did customs without them they dry super fast and the colors are AWSOME!! The only ones that gave me trouble were the neons but I got the mix down now.
