What is the primary purpose of the Mr. Hobby Mr. Colour GGX Rapid Thinner?

Can I use this thinner with regular Mr. Color paints?

Does this thinner work for glossy finishes?

Troubleshooting
Paint is still drying too slowly
Ensure you are using the GGX Rapid Thinner with GGX matte paints. Check that the ratio of thinner to paint is appropriate for your application method (airbrush vs. brush).
Uneven finish or "chalky" appearance
This can sometimes occur with matte paints. Ensure thorough mixing of the paint and thinner before application. Try a slightly different thinner-to-paint ratio or test on a spare surface.
Clogging of airbrush or brush
Ensure paint and thinner are thoroughly mixed. Clean your airbrush or brush immediately after use and periodically during extended sessions. Ensure no dried paint particles are present in the equipment.
Metallic paint finish looks dull or different
The GGX Rapid Thinner is optimized for matte finishes. For best results with metallic paints, consider using the standard Mr. Color thinner. If using the rapid thinner, test the color and finish on a spare piece first.
