Ed,
This paint is god stuff!!! I have been using it know for a while with great results. If your familiar with the old paint line Accu-Paint and have used it this is a very similar formula. The paint is an Acetone based paint and can be thinned with it as well as cleaning an air brush. Speaking of air brush, the finish you will get from this paint will allow you to decal without spraying a gloss coat first. I highly recommend the use of this paint.

When I emailed the guys here in Phoenix that own the company they said they reformulated the paints and you can use paint or lacquer thinner. Is this not true? I am about to purchase some paint from them.

Curious. They make paints specifically for modelers, and yet the main image on their website is of fruit...
