HI all,

While I've had the MIG Rust Effects colors (both the old rust and lighter color new rust), it's been awhile since I have used them. What would you recommend to thin them, or clean brushes with? I'm sure there is a MIG thinner, but what about any common products like Windex or lacquer thinner. Thoughts?

They are enamel,so I use regular mineral spirits to clean up.

Curt,
If you are referring to these, they are acrylics water based
thus water soluble or Ammo thinner.

Thanks, gents. It turns out that the version I was asking about is the enamel version, so I know what I need now. Thanks to both of you.
