Mr. Surfacer 1200 and Tamiya Thinner?

[JBF]

Hi All, 

I'm getting ready to spray some primer on my Tamiya JPS Lotus 72D and plan on using Mr. Surfacer 1200. I've been using all Tamiya paints and I have some Tamiya X20A thinner. 

Can I use the Tamiya thinner to cut the Mr. Surfacer 1200? I was going to go 50/50. I'm using a Paasche H.

Thanks in advance!

There is a Tamiya thinner that would likely work:

This is what I would be inclined to use to thin Mr. Surfacer:

No you won't be able to use that Tamiya thinner as it is acrylic thinner and the Mr. Surfacer 1200 is Lacquer.  You can use the Tamiya Lacquer thinner though... probably any lacquer thinner but I have only used Tamiya and Mr. Hobby Lacquer thinners with mine.

OK, thanks very much for the help and great information! I appreciate it.
