Using thinner in you synthetic primer will only make it dry faster , but will reduce its quality of the product. Does it require a hardner(catylist)
Why dont you throw that stuff away and go to your local Automotive Paint Jobber and get the correct stuff you need. I am not into using off brands, this way you can get everything you need thats compatiable .
Have you emailed that company you bought the primer from to see what reducer it takes ?
PPG, Dupont, Sikkins, all make quality primers that are tintable,.............. expensive? yes but way better products!!!!!!!!

I sprayed a 6" wide stripe down the side of a semi tractor once many years ago. The guy bought the paint Dark green on a white truck. The paint was "rustoleum".
I did it, it worked, got it done with NO runs. Many very lite coats.
It took forever to dry of course, but he bought the paint and wouldn't
take the time to return it for decent (automotive) paint.
Note: It was the same guy that had me recently stripe
his Caddy in prism.
I probably shouldn't be telling this story here cuz' this is a how to thread .... not a "What not to do" thread.
