  1. Yes, Testors bottle paints need thinning before spraying. They sell their own bottles of lacquer thinner for the bottle paints, but you'll probably be able to thin it with hardware store lacquer thinner as well. That's what I thin Testors enamels with.

    would you happen to know the ratio is to thin it, I have the testors lacquer thinnner but it does not say hoe much to use.

    thanks
