I got a set of Lifecolor paint with the main Panzer colors I have never used this brand before so what the heck. I noticed that the paint was very thin. I mixed it 80 paint 20 thinner and put 2 drops of retarder in it. It was very thin to spray but I liked the olive green. Is the paint from the sets supposed to be used straight with no thinning or is it a case of thin it and use 2 or 3 coats to get an opaque finish?
