After many years of using plain old thinner from the hardware or auto shop I tried Humbrol enamel thinner, like watered down metho, normal thinner is way better and a lot cheaper. Never tried laquer thinner with Humbrol enamels but I will and see what happens.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
My preferred method is following the paint mfgs recommendation. However, since I find Testors enamel thinner hard to get at times, I then thin it with mineral spirits/turpentine. I have on occasion used lacquer thinner with enamel, with mixed results (pun not intended). Sometimes it worked fine, other times the paint curdled and lumped together.
