thinner/reducer to use with air application?

Hey guys, I was wondering what kind of thinner or reducer I can mix with paint for lexan bodies? It is my first air application and the shop I odered from was back ordered on thinner. Can an automotive reducer or something work? Thanks.

You want auto air 4011 Flash reducer for acrylics (parma, createx, auto air, wicked)

Otherwise, you can thin with Future floor shine, windex, H2o2, distilled water ect.. if you cant source the flash reducer.

+1 for 4011.

FasThinner is good.

I was not very inpressed with Wicked 100 thinner. Lots of tip dry. It must be more like 4010.

4011 is my first choice.
