Thinner or reducer for oil based paint?
Thinner--specifically, mineral spirits. Reducer is used in urethane car paint.
Can you reduce a urethane paint with a lacquer reducer?
I'm guessing this is auto paint. The best rule is to use a reducer of same brand some are not compatible with other brands. e.g.(PPG paint PPG reducer & activator). You will most likely have issues if you mix and match brands. And yes urethane reducer can be used with urethane paint.

Thin out the paint for color match
What is the best procedure to mix automotive paint?
Talk to the people at the paint store for better advise but choose a reducer that matches your paint and temperature range and I go with a 2 to 1 reducer to paint ratio using a 50psi regulator, that works well enough for me.
How much reducer do you add to automotive paint?
What kind of paint is it? Follow the manufacture's instructions; paint sellers usually have a product sheet that is really the instructions for mixing and using (spraying). Rule of thumb: when you add reducer stir ell and when finished strring count the seconds it takes for the paint on the stir stick to start dripping; no fewer than 8 seconds, no more than 25.

What causes an orange peel effect when spray painting?
Most likely cause is wrong reducer for the temperature. If you use a fast drying reducer in warm/hot weather, the paint will dry before it has a chance to level out. There are 3 basic kinds of reducer for enamels, Cold, Mid temp, and hot weather. You don't mention what type paint you are using, so, I am pretty much guessing what it is. However, this rule holds true for most all kinds of paint used today, base/clear, acrylic enamel, and single stage urethane. Air pressure and paint gun adjustment also plays a role, but reducer is my guess.
