No idea, I shoot them from a spray can. the product is such good quality, that I have never gotten a run and coverage/finish is absolutely smooth.

If I had to guess, I would say the same ratio most of your paints are mixed to...approximately the consist. of milk.  Primer does not have to go on thick, nor absolutely/opaquely cover the model below (especially if there is a lot of fine detail).

Geoff,

I buy 6 or 12 cans at a time (a box/case worth) on Ebay (vendors out of Japan or China/Taiwan)...takes about 15 to 30 days....or if in a hurry I will buy individual cans at one of the LHS that carries it (Pegasus Hobbies, Brookhurst Hobbies, Warbird Hobbies), or my other frequent source is greatmodels.com (http://greatmodels.com) online (which  was just recently acquired by Sprue Brothers http://spruebrothers.com/ (http://spruebrothers.com/) .....have not dealt with the new ownership..so don't know if they carry it, or what their service is like)
