How to use Tamiya Clear Coats w/airbrush?

Just as it says, bought the clear from a local hobby shop that finally stocked Tamiya products but have no idea on how to use it. What are the ratios to mix it and what do I mix it with? Tamiya thinner? Water? The flat is less liquid like, so does it take a different ratio? Thanks!

The Tamiya flat is ment to be added to paint to make them flat. If you spray it unmixed you will turn your model a chalky white, which I am sure is not your goal. The gloss can be sprayed by itself, just thin it with either alcohol or Tamiya thinner. Thin just like you would paint. I never record by exact ratios, just mix until it sprays nice and smooth. I would suggest using Polyscale flat. It needs very little thinning and gives a dead flat finish.
