Carl,

I like to use toulene. That is what I usually have handy when I mixed my Olive Drab that I use on my MV's (Military Vehicles) I use the Gilispie paint.

But, I have used the Kleen Strip paint thinner stuff ( Walmart, I think) and it seems to work just fine.

Man, enamel paint thinner is about $10 a gallon and lacquer thinner is about $14. I bought a 5 gallon pail (cheaper) and then pour it into the 1 gallon cans that I saved to handle easier. One must be thrifty....:D

Got any numbers for the early Cat Hyway yellow or the even earlier grey? Man, it would be handy if those were available. Even with the wait for them getting the paint in stock, it would save not only money but also time.

Thanks,
Tom
