Hi,

Do you guys know what kind of solvent I can mix to thin the little bottle of touchup paint?

thanx

 

What little bottle of touchup paint?

 

Paint thinner?

 

The touchup paint you buy from the dealership for $6. I have it for 5 years for my TSX. It is getting dry and turning very thick.

 

BUY A NEW ONE !


What ever you buy to thin it out is going to cost you the same or more.

 

Yes, you are right. But somehow I don't want to buy a new one by some unknown reason. It is just $6 dollars.

Anyway... I already have a 1-gallon regular paint thinner sitting in my garage. But I am not sure if I can use it to thin touchup paint. Maybe too strong?

 

If you thin the paint, the likelihood of it matching your factory paint on any small defect is lessened. Why? The paint has been thinned.

Pay the $6 (or $9 like I did) for a new one!

 

^^^ Word.

To thin automotive paint you need a solvent like lacquer thinner which has a lot of potential to muck up the existing paint when you apply it. Do it right and get a new bottle of paint before you end up making a big problem that could have been averted by $6.
