FAQs
Can I use this thinner with non-acrylic paints?
No, this product is specifically formulated for 2K acrylic systems. Using it with incompatible systems may cause curdling or poor adhesion.
Is this a fast or slow evaporating thinner?
This is a 'Normal' thinner, designed for standard application temperatures and typical drying cycles.
What safety gear is required when using this?
Always wear appropriate respiratory protection, gloves, and safety goggles, as the product contains volatile organic compounds.
Can this be used for cleaning spray guns?
While it can dissolve acrylic paint, it is recommended to use specialized gun wash thinner for cleaning equipment to preserve the life of your seals and gaskets.
Does it affect the gloss level of the topcoat?
When used according to the manufacturer's recommended ratios, it helps achieve the intended gloss level by allowing proper leveling of the clear coat.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging on the surface
Check your dilution ratio; you may have added too much thinner. Ensure your spray gun pressure and travel speed are adjusted correctly for the viscosity.
Poor atomization or 'orange peel' effect
The mixture may be too thick. Gradually add a small amount of thinner to achieve the proper viscosity for your spray gun nozzle size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, always measure your dilution ratios accurately using a mixing cup, as improper ratios can lead to runs or dull finishes. The product is strictly compatible with 2K acrylic primers, topcoats, and basecoats within the HB Body line and most professional-grade equivalent systems. Always store the container in a cool, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Keep the lid tightly sealed at all times when not in use to prevent evaporation of the active solvents, which would alter the chemical balance of the product.
