Can lacquer thinner be used with red oxide primmer?

Well, honey, technically you can use lacquer thinner with red oxide primer, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a hot mess on your hands. Lacquer thinner is pretty strong stuff and might not play nice with the primer, so proceed with caution and maybe do a test patch first. Just remember, I warned ya!

The thinner, if used too much, could affect the finish of the paint sprayed on the car - maybe looking matt rather than gloss. It is best to follow the paint manufacturer's instructions - especially if the car you are spraying is for a customer, not yours!

How do you get Kilz primer off bathtub?

Best answer is to clean it off immediately while it is still wet. Once it has dried, it depends on the material the bathtub is composed of. If it's porcelain, use some lacquer thinner to melt the primer, then clean off the residue and polish. If it is fiberglass or plastic, then any solvent strong enough to remove the cured primer will also damage the surface of the bathtub. Use a razor blade to scrape off the primer, being careful to not damage the surface.

Way do we mix primer with thinner instead of water?

Primer is typically mixed with a thinner instead of water for several reasons: Solvent compatibility: Primers are often oil-based or solvent-based, and water-based paint is not compatible with these types of primers. Mixing water with an oil-based or solvent-based primer can cause the primer to separate or not adhere properly to the surface. Optimal performance: Thinner is specifically formulated to thin and enhance the flow of oil-based or solvent-based paints and primers. It helps to achieve the desired consistency, improves leveling, and promotes better adhesion and coverage. Water may not provide the same benefits and can result in a subpar finish. Drying time: Thinning a primer with the appropriate thinner can help regulate the drying time. Thinner evaporates more quickly than water, allowing the primer to dry at the expected rate, ensuring proper curing and durability. Professional recommendations: Manufacturers of primers often recommend using their recommended thinner or solvent to achieve the best results. Following these guidelines ensures that the primer performs as intended and maintains its qualities and protective properties. It's important to consult the specific instructions and recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the primer you are using to determine the appropriate thinner or solvent to mix with the primer for optimal results.


Can you put oil based primer over external polyurethane lacquer on doors?

Absolutly! You just have to check to see if the primer is first an exterior primer and if it will stick to glossy surfaces. You can lightly sand to rough up the surface or just clean the surface and apply the primer. For oil based primers I would recommend Beauti-tone's fast dry oil primer or Zinsser's oil based cover stain primer.
