What is the best " commercial" thinner for these paints? It is not water.

I bought some Mr Color Thinner but they didn't have the color I wanted so I don't have the paint yet. That seems funny to me!
So I ordered some paint from Sprue Brothers can't wait to see how they spray.

Mr Levelling Thinner is amazing. I use it with Tamiya paints also.

If you're looking for something you can buy at the hardware store, I'd try two things *maybe*:
91% alcohol
lacquer thinner

+1 for Mr Levelling Thinner. Great stuff for enamels, lacquers and some acrylics.

It's my go to for just about everything aside from cleanup. I keep a small jar of hardware store lacquer thinner for brush and airbrush cleaning. Using paint thinners for weathering applications and washes, but not much else at this point.
