I'm new to painting and was told it's best to thin the paint first...what do I use for that? I have Tamiya acrylic paints.

i wouldnt add it to the bottle, but you could use a paint palette, it usually has about 10 small cups that you could mix your paint in, they are very inexpensive to buy, and can be used over and over

It may be just me but I've had great results using rubbing Alcohol and Tamiya when airbrushing, don't see why using a brush would make a difference.

For eyes, I use a 20/0 liner. For details I use a 5/0 and even a 1 sable. It really depends on what your doing, and the sizes will range greatly. Be sure to go ahead and spend on decent quality brushes...I prefer red sable for naturals and taklon for synthetic.
