For clear coats I agree. Sealer coats could be good that thin but I was talking about paint which can get thick and mucky. Especially when you get into pigments as in opaque colors. I sprayed some colors thinned 50/50 with acetone and it worked well. I learned to spray colors at higher pressure with the needle throttled way back for greater control and a finer atomization. This can have a tendency to leave a sandy texture so I imagine that's where a thinner mixture can be of benefit.

Like I said, I'm still learning a lot. Thanks for all the helpful advice, everyone.
