They are the same!


It depends on what you are doing with it.

For some applications, straight from the bottle, for detail add about 30% retarder only (NOT THINNER) most colors are applied straight from the bottle until you start doing different things with the paints. Say you want color but need it to be transparent, then add clear to you primary color.
