FAQs

Can I use this with water-based paints?

No, this is a solvent-based thinner and is not compatible with water-based paint systems.

What is the maximum dilution ratio recommended?

You should use it at up to 20% to achieve the desired consistency for your specific application.

Is this thinner compliant with EU regulations?

No, this product is designed specifically for non-EU clear coats and paint products.

How should I store the leftover thinner?

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area with the lid tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.

Does this thinner speed up the drying time?

This is a 'Standard' drying thinner, meaning it is formulated for balanced drying under normal shop conditions rather than specifically accelerating or retarding the process.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging during application

You may have added too much thinner. Ensure you do not exceed the 20% maximum dilution ratio.

Orange peel finish on the surface

The paint may be too thick or the drying is too rapid. Ensure you are using the correct dilution ratio and check that your ambient spray temperature is within the recommended range.

Paint is clogging the spray gun nozzle

The mixture may be too viscous or the paint has started to cure prematurely. Clean the gun thoroughly and verify your mixing ratio before re-spraying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with a broad range of non-EU paint systems

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, ensure your spray equipment is clean and free of previous residue. Always mix the thinner into your paint system slowly, stirring thoroughly to ensure homogeneity.

Compatibility Note: This product is strictly intended for non-EU clear coats and paint products; do not mix it with water-based systems or high-solids paints specifically requiring different solvent profiles.

Storage & Care: Always store the container in a cool, well-ventilated, and fire-safe area. Ensure the cap is tightened completely after every use to prevent solvent evaporation and contamination from airborne particles.
