Are there already thinned paints to buy? So I don't need to thin them?
>>
>>98703289
Thinning paints is very easy anon. To me it looks like you said
>Is there already chewed food to buy? So I don't need to chew it?
Acceptable if you're paralysed, severely retarded, or otherwise disabled, but if you don't have an excuse you should just learn the very simple process of thinning paints.

>>98703289
Pre-thinned paint is more expensive and you get less paint out of it. Just learn how to thin your paints.
>>
>>98703289
Thinning paint is a privilege not chore.

What's the most retarded gorillaman mini you've ever seen?

Paint ranges designed for airbrush use are usually on the thinner side already
>>
>>98703289
i really like armypainter's airpaint line for that purpose
>>
>>98703289
if you can't even bother to thin your paints this hobby ain't for you
>>
>>98703289
It is better to learn to thin paints. Lord knows I need to learn to thin my paints too. I've messed up many times.

>>98703289
pro tip: from distance you usually stand near table, effects look the same

>>98703289
Just thicken your plastic then.

What is even the point of these if you can thin paint?
>>
>>98718742
less actual paint for more money

Vallejo Air may fit bill, it's for aerographes, hence already thinned considerably, while pigments kept in volume
>>
>>98703289

Just use a wet palette and be sure to not let paint pool up and clog details.

People always talk about mixing in half water etc but I don't think that's necessary unless you're going for a glazed color shift or NMM effect.

AK and Pro Acryl can be dropped on a wet palette and not thinned at all.
>>
>>98703289
not really, because there's not a single fixed amount of thinness that you will use 100% of the time so you can;t produce a universal pre-thinned product. Depending on the specific technique, colour and even area of the mini you will want paint thinned to different amounts different times. so paint brands tend slightly thick with the expectation you thin as needed on the fly.

this

This. They even oversaturate and break apart on a wet palette if it has a highly permeable sheet. Pro Acryl can be used undiluted on a dry palette too, if OP doesn't live in a desert.
>>
The old line from army painter is what comes closets to "pre thinned" because they are not that pigmented,a wet brush and a wet palette does pretty much all the work for you. But like all the anons are saying, learning to thin paints is an essential part of the hobby
