This is a very genaric paint used for years. Any auto paint store can
provide thinner for this. Also call reducer, you will need the buy
the appropreate temperature, and plan on a 1 part paint to 2 parts
thinner (max.), depending on conditions.   As you may see painting
a vehicle gets more technical than painting a house. You will also
need lacquer thinner to clean the spray gun.
