I actually didn't thin it when I did my winch and fenders a couple years ago and it went on pretty well. If I remember right, the guy at the sherwin williams shop said to use MAK (yes, thats MAK, not MEK) I had never heard of it, but he said it could be bought through them (they were out at the time) or an auto body place. I just used MEK to clean up... and clean up immediately. Once it dries, it's part of the gun and anything else it got on. I got my paint from a dealer in Michigan, which happens to be the same place that supplies AM General, they were very good with saying how to use it and clean up.

The 2 part waterborn CARC requires just water for both thinning and clean-up. I used distilled water for thinning and tap water for clean-up.
