I still have a dwindling supply of the Accupaints. some Passenger Maroon, some Tuscan red, and its still good, but I have no more of the thinner. none of the LHS's that still have remenants of displays have any thinner left.

What is the most likely commercial product to thin this stuff with?

IIRC Accupaint is an acrylic paint, so should just thin with water.

solvent based is right ! acetone worked.
