acetone or lacquer thinner instead of urethane reducer will it work

[fredsayshello]

I like that groan right at the beginning.

[Dmkpit]

i have used lacquer thinner on several paints, single stage and base an clear never had any issues

[rysammy]

We used Dupli color special reducer with base coat and clear coat and it worked fine, just dried a little slower. If you read the ingredients on urethane reducer, it is acetone with an additive for drying time. Lacquer thinner is it's own baby all together and will not work with urethane paint. The only product that I am a where of that can be thinned with either lacquer thinner and/or urethane reducer is epoxy primer.
Acetone is a very strong solvent that will damage cured paint if used to wipe the surface clean and should only be used to wipe down bare metal.

Don’t over think it. It’s a reducer/accelerator, use small amount and you’re fine

Pennsylvania here. I used sunny side when I was taking art class. As for automotive painting forget it. You may save money, but probably won't get a good paint job. But as I said I never used it.Thanks for the video enjoyed it . Acitone is for cleaning tar, bugs, etc.etc.

I just wanna say acrylic lacquer primer recommends acetone or laquer thinner over different surfaces. What I'm wondering is, can I use urethane reducer or xylene in it❤?

Was the pickup tailgate that the acetone damaged factory painted? Was it water based? Pressure of the tailgate on the rag and bumper and the inability of the acetone to quickly evaporate probably led to the damage. IMHO. I'm only a hobbyists diy guy, if it was only 5-10.00 difference I would certainly use the manufacturer's brand but not at nearly double the price(25 vs 50). Maybe I need the name of the best place to buy it. Thanks for posting your videos. It's been 20 years since I painted anything with automotive paint and that was my fiberglass bodied Champ Kart which I painted to match my tow vehicle. I used Kilz for primer(LOL) and shot the base coat and clear coat and the Kilz primer with a Wagner Fine Coat.(had a hose like a small vacuum cleaner), and it worked perfectly. I'm sure the environmental regs have had a big effect on the new paints. I just bought some Sherwin Williams ATX, (they were able to use the color numbers from 2003 that was used on our RV originally. I'm going to paint a small door that came off the RV on our last trip and new panels only come in white or black. Sorry this is so long. Again, thanks for all the work you put into your channel !

All I'm trying to do is find out if this acrylic reducer I have is okay to reduce urethane base just to shoot a couple test panels. Can't find a good answer.

[ugurguraba]

Asetone use but ıf sprayed very ver fast fly absoluetly paınd very hard and need short dıstance slow reducer than hundered tıme extra fly

[MegaTattoo]

Maybe? That's why you do a test panel... I use lacquer to cut my paint all the time when it's on my own projects, but if someone is paying me, well then they pay for the paint and of course they get the correct reducer with that paint... But Lacquer does work well....for me!

What primer do you put on a dark blue metallic I saw online they said black will work or dark grey.

California is pretty much going full waterborne?

Do you think acetone would work to take off the felt?

[robertdevino]

A rag with urethane reducer would have done just as much damage as the acetone! Acetone sprayed on will not affect any paint layers unless it's an enamel that is not completed it's drying time! If you have layers broken through that are not sealed you will get edge lifting even with urethane! The acetone is going to evaporate faster than your urethane reducers so it would not be good for getting a high gloss but should be fine on base coat. The faster drying time of the acetone can be good if you are looking to stand up your metallics ! it's not the reducer that creates the adhesion to the layer below it's the paint so the acetone should not affect adhesion anymore than if you used to much reducer would!

My 2 cents as a body shop owner and auto painter with multiple certifications. In simple terms, using anything but recommended reducers in modern urethanes is a bad idea. Paint holds each coat to the last by two things, chemical and mechanical adhesions. We scuff or sand for mechanical and chemical is obvious. If you use a chemical that evaporates too quickly, you don't get proper chemical adhesion (chemical cross-linking) And the aesthetic result will be severely sub par assuming you can get a chemical crosslink while mixing that allows you to mix the paint with acetone or laquer thinner. Good metaphor is, it's more like heating honey to spray through your gun. By the time you put it in the cup, spray it and it hits your 70 degree panel, it's hardly heated anymore and isn't going to land smooth and continue to get smoother. ( Obviously honey will eventually, but I'm talking about the first 10 minutes)

Im stuck at a night job watching your video, 😂

[ablecane]

were you my math teacher. i'm not sure because i was asleep

[ابوعبداللهعبدالله-هد]

Is the lacquer thinner medium drying like the one in the video the same as 2k medium thinner and what does the word medium stand for exactly is it for drying or for its strength thanks

[maxdetailing]

Lacquer thinner = diluant cellulosique . Pour les personnes qui sont de France. Rien à voir avec Acétone ou essence F ou autre même si ça y ressemble ... super produit que peu de personnes utilisent ... TOP

[rysammy]

Lacquer thinner is not the same as urethane reducer!!!
