For OPAQUE Colors, most of the time yes, you want to thin it to the consistency of Milk. What PSI are you using and Needle size on the AB? (I usually shoot at 40PSI) Normally the OPAQUE paints will be thicker and the Black and White the thickest of them. Try some Transparent Colors, they will usually need little to no thinning and see how they shoot.......................................Kwit

Bochmeyer, you can thin Createx, they are advertised as ready to spray from the bottle, but alot of variables go into that. First what are you painting, what pressure are you spraying at ? For example if you are spraying T-shirts you should be using between 40 - 60 psi, if you are spraying hard surfaces you will use much less pressure and you will need to thin the paint, some like to describe it to the consistency of skim milk. You can thin them with plain water.
