thinners

[phil_m]

Just about ready to shoot the basecoat, the thinners that came with the paint (fast) thinners. Looking for bit of advice on thinners though.. Is fast thinners the way to go? Or should i get medium thinners for the paint? Reason why i'm asking is i dont want to find the paint drying to quick that it over sprays or drys very quick i have to catch up. The temperature i'm working around just now average 8 to 12 degrees any advice would be appreciated

I'm using 2k primer,base & lacquer

so its fast hardner you have then, it should be fine especially if your not using a heated booth

 

[phil_m]

Yes fast hardner. Not a booth just a very big garage, Cheers for your help snooper

 

[the snooper]

yeah no problems probably what you need given the temp outside now

I would try and get the temp up mate, For the basecoat i use basecoat thinner, I would also use a rapid hardener.

Hi, Can cellulose thinners be used in 2k paints? was going to buy a 25L drum from metalflake but i'm not sure if its celly thinners or 2k thinners, or are they both the same anyway? on the metalflake site it just says 25 LTR STANDARD THINNERS?

standard thinners is gunwash , kinda like a cheap n nasty celly thinners

it would mix with the basecoat but id use the proper stuff

Standard thinner is gunwash, Use the proper 2K thinner unless you want to cock it up
