What Makes MCW Mild Lacquer Thinner Different?

MCW Finishes formulated this thinner specifically for the needs of hobbyists. Unlike aggressive industrial lacquer thinners, MCW MLT is a “mild” blend — designed to be safer for styrene plastics, resin kits, and delicate model components. The result? A smoother flow, cleaner lines, and a beautiful, professional-grade finish every time.

Gentle on plastic and resin parts
Perfect for airbrush or brush application
Reduces orange peel and brush marks
Provides optimal flow and leveling
Compatible with multiple paint brands

Available in a convenient 16 oz (470 ml) bottle, this thinner is the perfect size for regular use in your model paint booth.

How to Use MCW Mild Lacquer Thinner

Getting the most out of your thinner starts with proper mixing. Here’s a quick guide to help:

For Airbrushing:

Mix 1 part thinner to 1–2 parts paint, depending on your spray setup and temperature.
Spray in light, even coats and allow each coat to flash off before applying the next.

For Brush Painting:

Add thinner gradually until the paint flows smoothly from the brush.
Perfect for fine detail work, small parts, and touch-ups.

Cleaning:

Use MCW MLT to clean your airbrush, paint cups, and tools after painting.

Tip: Always work in a well-ventilated area and follow safety recommendations on the label.
