Sure... Jeff at Aervoe said to use between 5-10% thinner with their paint.
We used about 8.25. Now let me warn you, using that little thinner makes
the paint go FAST!! We used almost a gallon on one coat of the M1009 in this
manner!!
For thinners, DON'T USE LAQUER THINNER!!! I have had some speculation from
a couple of people that this may (or may not) be the cause of some of the
pink issues...
Aervoe says to use one of their three thinners...
494 Fast Thinner - which is 75% Acetone, 25% Xylene by weight
908 Medium Thinner - which is 50% VM&P Naphtha, 50% Xylene by weight
909 Slow Thinner - which is 25% Acetone, 75% Xylene by weight
We didn't have any of their thinners at our disposal, so we used straight
Naptha. We sprayed our final coat at about 62 degrees on a slightly breezy
afternoon, and it dried FAST... I would recommend going with a slower
thinner than we used. I actually had to wash overspray off from where we
moved around to the other side of the truck. I think if we had actually
used something more equivalent to their medium thinner we would have been
fine, but no Xylene was available to us.
I hope this helps,
Mike

If you got some kind of top secret suggestion why don't you share it with
the
list, in case somebody out there is brave enough to use Aervoe............
