What To Thin Mr Surfacer With?

[TEKNOSYS]

I working on a model of my car, and I had to do a lot of sanding on the body to get it to match my real life car and I want to prime it with Mr Surfacer 1200 I have. It's in bottle form and I'll be airbrushing it on. What should I use to thin it with? Is oderless mineral spirits OK?

Probably not, enamel vs lacquer. Try lacquer thinner if you can't get Mr Color Thinner.

If you can't get Mr. Color Thinner go to a auto paint supply store (check your yellow pages) and ask them for premium lacquer thinner. It has a different formulation than regular store bought lacquer thinner and is closer in formula to Mr. Color Thiner (cheaper too).
