1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
One more piece of the puzzle.
If you are considering Rustoleum Safety Red (Synthetic Enamel) you will want to use a good Reducer/Thinner to thin the paint properly for spraying. Some say use mineral spirits (dries too slow) others say acetone (don't recommend).
John Deere company has one of the best Reducers , as they recommend it to spray their JD Green Synthetic Enamels:
"TY25650 Paint Thinner" for their synthetic enamel paints.
Best price for this particular product too, around 35.00 a gallon. Well worth it to get the proper product to use. Can get it at your Local John Deere Dealer, have them order it in quick if they don't have it on the shelf, can buy it online too and have it shipped to you.
Dupont has a great fast dry reducer for Synthetic Enamel 3812-S, but you will pay at least twice as much for it as the John Deere Paint Thinner.
Best spraying temperature is 70 degrees on low humidity day, at 55-60 degrees gets cool and easier to run the paint, 85 degrees and up things are going to dry up too fast as you are spraying things out leaving dry spots when you get back to where you started spraying. Want to be around only 10% reduction with the reducers/thinners for the synthetic enamels, a little more if it is not atomizing out of your gun enough giving you the Orange Peel look to the paint finish.
Read the Labels for the how to instructions.
I don't recommend using the John Deere TY25650 Paint Thinner or Dupont 3812-S for thinning other automotive finishes as they are not compatible, only use with the Synthetic Enamels.
Want to have things stacked in your favor when doing this auto body painting, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
