What is the best type of paint thinner to use on touch up paint. When I had the car painted, the shop gave me a small bottle with the brush for touch up. I wanted to thin it down to use in my airbrush for painting some engine parts, but Im not sure what would be the best...Mineral spirits, Xylene, denatured alcohol???

Thanks
RC

Subscribing---I went to use the Ford touch-up paint & found it all gooey inside---so can I drop a few drops of lacquer thinner in it?

WE're Having no luck here AJ

I had some paint thinner by that company that makes the little jars in the hobby section...I added some of that to the jar. It worked, but I dont know how it will affect the paint being stored.
