Can lacquer thinner be used to thin oil based paint?
Lacquer thinner will thin many types of oil based paint, but not all. -Experiment with a little first.
What is the difference between lacquer and paint thinner?
Lacquer thinner evaporates quicker. It is cleaner or leaves less of a film than paint thinner. Lacquer thinner will thin most solvent based paint but paint thinner shouldn't be used to thin Lacquer. Lacquer dries from the surface painted out and enammal dries from the surface of the paint down to the surface painted. Using the wrong thinner affects how the paint dries and may affect the final finish.
What is lacquer thinners used for?
Used to dilute, dissolve and clean up lacquer products. Typically too caustic for oil paints, lacquer thinner is often used for removing inks on metal, and adhesive residue from a variety of surfaces. Lacquer thinner is very strong and rapidly deteriorates many surfaces and fabrics. Always test in a small inconspicuous area before applying too liberally on a large surface. Hope this helps!
Can you use lacquer thinner for cleaning used brush?
It may or may not be effective. Traditional lacquer is a nitrocellulose-based coating. Thinners for nitrocellulose include acetone and ethanol (drinking alcohol). Most nail polishes are nitrocellulose lacquers, and that's why acetone is used as a nail polish remover.In general, the rule for thinners is that you need to use the thinner that was originally used to make the coating, or which is sold to be a thinner for the coating. If what's on your brushes isn't lacquer, lacquer thinner may not work as well as a thinner designed for the coating, and it may not work at all.If you already have lacquer thinner somewhere, or some nail polish remover, why not try a little bit to see if it works?

How do you remove a lacquer floor finish?
We were attempting to remove lacquer from a quarry tile floor. We had inadvertantly put lacquer on quarry tile, which I guess is a no-no. We had a white discoloration that was appearing after only a few days after application. This discoloration was determined to be lacquer that was not bonding properly, and the problem was growing. The only way to correct this problem was to completely remove the lacquer. We sought help through this help sight, but got no answers, so we experimented on our own. We reasoned that lacquer thinner should thin lacquer, so maybe it would remove it. We tried a test area, and it did remove it, but not completely. We deduced that we were only thinning it, and when it dried, there was still just a thinner layer on the quarry tile. So we went to a more powerful thinner- acetone. Acetone has a quicker evaporation rate than lacquer thinner. We used absorbent rags and wiped on the acetone and off with the lacquer ! We had to repeat the process several times with clean rags each time, to get it totally clean. Our rags turned yellow after they dried, indicating to us that we were getting the lacquer finish removed. Keep in mind that we used lots of precautions- cannister-style breathing apparatus, rubber gloves, non-absorbent knee pads, lots of ventilation, etc., etc. We made sure all heaters, etc. were turned off so not to ignite any fumes. DO NOT attempt to take off any lacquer without at least the above protection, if not more !
Will paint thinner hurt a car finish?
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!
