So I was working on my new WR02 Jimny yesterday to paint the body before temperature outside cools down. For its bumpers I brushed on some old black Pactra/Duratrax PC paint (lacquer based?) which is the same as the black paint I use on my Rover Mini's fenders.. only to find the paint thinner had completely evaporated in 2 of my 3 bottles I had.

Anyone know if there is another brand thinner I can use with the same/similar formulation?

I was very glad I noticed it yesterday before my black paint dried up completely. I dumped the thinner I had left in there to salvage it. I still have 3 unpainted Mini bodies NIB to work on, and I am definitely going to start working on them today to get at least the black fenders and grills painted this week. The rest of the painting can wait until it's time to use them.
