Hi Paul,
I have the complete line of Misterkit paints. Haven't tried mixing them with anything else, but I'll try and let you know what I come up with. "Q"

Well, I tinkered with the paints and found that the MK paints will mix with just about any acrylic I had. Model Master Acryl, Vallejo, and Apple Barrel craft paint were some I tried. I typically use Windex to clean my brushes and to thin acrylics so that is what I used for this experiment. I didn't try to airbrush with it, but I imagine it will with no issues. Brush painting results were quite good. Very smooth application, no brush strokes, and it dried quickly. They also dried dead flat. Might try some other experiments with them here shortly. I got a few projects on the table that I could use them on. "Q"
