When it all comes down to it, a spray gun is a spray gun, and paint is paint. Unless you're into a specialty coating like epoxy or bedliner, the sky is pretty much the limit. Use whatever is appropriate for what you are painting, and thin according to the instructions on the can.

id only really be spraying a kart or quad that sort of stuff
so if i thin down any gloss etc paint i can use it ?

You got it. The label will tell you what type of thinner, and the maximum dilution. Remember to follow the label. If you buy acrylic paint and try to mix "paint thinner" in, you'll create a toxic goop that will never dry. Read carefully. (BTW- I'm a painter by trade).

I use rustoleum paint thinned if necessary with mineral spirits

Hey- hot tip here- Rust paints like Tremclad and Rustoleum thin very nicely with Acetone. It flashes off faster, no residue, and does not compromise the integrity of the paint like low grade Varsol/paint thinner/mineral spirits...

Would turpentine do in stead of acetone?
I hate the smell of acetone if I can avoid it and can better the piney fresh smell of turps.

what if it doesnt say anything about thinning it out on the tin ?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

What does it say to use for clean-up?
Mcktuzy- I believe so, but can't advise you much further. I haven't used actual turpentine since my late teens or early 20's... been awhile...
