Their vapors need room to expand, and an over-full container can potentially burst. Reduce Paint Viscosity Before getting a paint thinner, you need to know that there are different paint thinners for specific applications. Oil-based paint and latex paints will require different products to thin the paint. Read the manufactureru2019s recommendation on how to use the right ratio of paint to paint thinner. The mix shall be prepared carefully adding the thinner slowly and mixing it thoroughly. Normally, a ratio of 4:1 paint to thinner should be a good one. You donu2019t want to have it thinner than paint, as it will deteriorate and affect the quality of the paint. Do note that if you are using a sprayer, the mixture has to be thin so it can flow through the gun. Best Tips u2022tNever use Cold Paint as it might affect the thickness and application process. u2022tThinner must be mixed with paint stored at room temperature. u2022tBefore starting, test the mix, by apply two coats on your surface.
