Help wanted. This is maybe for UK members as it is a UK product. Has anyone any idea of what basic thinners I should use for spraying Japlac coach enamel, as I don't think I have the fine touch any longer to hand paint the stuff and obtain a reasonable finish. Could we please keep eye of toad and other concoctions to the minimum please. Bogs |

A lot of paints are now water based, so this may be worth a try, but from my work days I remember that water base paints take a lot of mixing and soon separate out. I thinned some hamerite for spraying I think with turps it was either that or meths. Hope this helps Stew |

Just a guess, but what about acetone. Daft thing is I've used the Japlac stuff before, but it was about 30 years ago, and my detail memory sucks about things that old. picclock |

Bogs I bought some machine enamel from a specialist dealer, tried to sell me the appropriate thinners that goes with the paint. They then openly told me that their standard thinners was the same stuff. Suggest you just try standard automotive thinners with bit before wasting lots of money on big named branded stuff? |
| DMIOM:
Bogs, I've just pulled the MSDS for Japlac Enamel from International Paints and the major solvent component listed is described as Naptha (up to 50%). If you would like to PM me your e-mail I can forward it if you like. cheers / Dave |
