All very good recommendations and I would like to add my experiences with paint, especially Testors.
They seem to be a bit tricky when spraying with a generic thinner (such as hardware store mineral spirits), some colors will work just fine were others tend to leave less than favorable results. I'll first mix a small test batch and spray a plastic milk container so I don't ruin a model. If it looks nasty, I switch to Testors thinner.
Not all enamel paints from different companies (brands) use the same thinning agents, so it's usually best to use what is recommended by the company. Sometimes you can cheat though.
As far as using lacquer thinner with enamel paint... I know some folks do and claim no problems. But that was a painting rule no-no when I was spraying cars in the shop so I just can't consider that as an option. I mean, you don't spray lacquer over enamel so I sure ain't mixing the two together. But that's just me and my old schooling.
