RC vehicle enthusiasts will appreciate the return of the famous Tamiya grasshopper. More revolutionary than ever, this new model to mount appeals to both beginners and nostalgic for the first version. Indeed, two versions are now marketed, including the grasshopper and the grasshopper II.Recently, this week, I've started using AK Xtreme "metallics", I've not needed to thin these but being non-acrylic, I've no idea if their lacquer or enamels. Other acrylic formulations like Revell and Vallejo are different formulations (acrylic resin based IIRC) that do NOT work or play well with hot thinners. You really want a mild acrylic thinner for these, mostly water with a small amount of alcohol and flow aids. For airbrushing these paints I'll pay the premium for the branded thinners just to save home chemistry experiment aggravation.

I also clean my airbrush between colours, ie taking it apart and ensuring that the needle is clean and free of any paint build up.
