the paints are water based so alcohol will dry them out on the tip as will most other reducers

The alcohol in Windex has a higher surface tension than straight water...this helps it to not bead up on non-porous surfaces (like Lexan) when it is sprayed.

Did they dry green? If it alters the color you can use clear Windex or Createx makes actual waterbased reducer that is also clear.

It was a minor change, but you could see it....I wasn't aware of clear windex, we had the blue stuff in the house, so I used it.

Related question here, so this isn't really getting off-topic I hope, but has anyone tried ammonia to think out liquid mask film that has started to get goopy in the bottle? I heard a drop or two will rejuvinate it somewhat.

Thanks, I screwed up and backed the Faspearl Red too late in the paint process but its not too bad, in the sun it looks darker and its got the whole pearl effect.

The Auto Air reducer works good for other Auto Air paints....I tried it once with Faskolor, and it seemed to make it worse. Just based on that, I would stick to same brand mixing...

I've personally never had any trouble with Createx products mixing with Faskolor. I would agree that staying within the same brand is the safest route although water based products are generally not as sensitive as solvent based products when it comes to mixing brands.
