    What thinners for enamel paint...?

    Sorry to post such a basic question, but memory fails me as to what thinners I can use with Humbrol enamel paints. Bearing in mind these paints are circa twenty years old.


    To hand I have cellulose thinners, methylated spirits and white spirit. Can one of these be used? If not, what do I need?


    Thanks

    I've always used white spirit.

      Thanks for the information


      I've seen that Humbrol produce thinners for enamel paint, does this contain white spirit?

        White spirit if brush painting. If you're airbrushing, cellulose thinner can be used. I find it gives a better finish than white spirit.
