What's a thinner that breaks slower....

Postby Quint » Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:37 pm

Trying to find a thinner that breaks (evaporates) slower. Been using two way thinners, but worried that the colder temps are going to produce blooming when i spray. So looking at other options to help safe guard against blooming, which i'm told is to use a slower evaporating thinner.

Hoping the 'good' weather we are supposed to have this weekend coupled with a slower breaking thinner will mean I can put the last coat on my dub x.

Chur!

Yea unfortunately the guys i've approached, who have booths (pros), aren't willing to go anywhere near it and I don't know where I'd put one, tbh. :p

That is an option, but not a good looking one! Want to get it done so I can put the trim back on (so its not scattered to all 5 corners) and I can move onto other things.
Got a rebuild / conversion I want to get done.
