I like how cheap the paint is but it still is a nice quality paint. Rule of thumb (for me anyway) is start 50/50 but can even thin it down 70/30 (thinner yo paint). I clean my airbrush with hardware store lacquer thinner. I think most people prefer to use a leveling thinner even though it's really hard to find right now. I've tried their rapid thinner for Metallic paints with good results as well. Their paint line is extensive so if your newer and you want to spray lacquer paints, they are cheap and they have pretty much any color you could need. If you do gunpla and you like painting them like the anime/Manga they are the colors you will find in the manual.

I’m a big fan of the Mr. Hobby lacquers. Generally I dilute at around 50:50 or 40:60 (paint to thinners) whether that’s right or not, it seems to work for me. Of course I thin it with MLT. It dries really quickly and I can add a second coat within 10-15 minutes. It’s durable and dries to a smooth finish especially when used with MLT. Immediately after my final coat, I will give it a light pass with MLT which ensures its level finish.
