Seem to have opened a can of worms here, with an innocent question
on using lacquer thinners.

I have to agree with Michael about using the laquer thinners. Had
similar problems spraying XF (especially white) that after a
couple of evenings trials with the lacquer thinned XF does give
a noticable improvement. I have used both my A470 and a Harder
and Steinbeck Focus with improved results.

I have tried several of the tips for avoiding the pitfulls of spraying
XF thinned with IPA (X20A) gleaned from this site. Some have improved
the finish, but the results with the alternate does make the quality
of finish better.

However, it goes without saying that this thinner does have to be used in a well ventilated area as it does have a strontg odour.
