Chris, does your B1 have gloss coat on it?
And are you using primer? I have been using Tamiya Fine Scale primer and have been wondering if the Tru-colors paint has been having a reaction with the primer. I have an old bottle of Tru-colors primer that has separated and evaporated, mostly(there's still some left in the bottle). I also had a bottle of black in the same condition and I added some Tru-colors thinner to it to see if I could bring it back to life. I put it in my air brush and gave it a try on some scrap styrene and seemed to have worked. I'm going to give the primer the same experiment today.
On another forum, I read that humidity may have a significant effect on this paint because of the acetone that is in the paint. Thread said, acetone may absorb the moisture in the air when humid as it's being air-brushed. I'm not sure of this specifically, but it was extremely humid the day I air-brushed the boxcar and I got the blushed results. When I have experimented with the same color, I thinned it more and increased the psi to around 35, but the humidity had pulled out also.
I'll post my results
Thx,
Mark
