I’m guessing he means lacquer thinner.
I’m
I’m guessing the same, but would like to know for sure.
I’m also having lots of ‘fun’ spraying StyNylRes in what’s turned out to be the hottest month in decades!
Bingo! And there is the importance of good customer service. I harp on that all the time. Too many companies don’t follow that idiom.
I have good and bad days with this primer. The stuff seems to settle into a big pile of goo. I recently purchased new bottles and they all settled out the same way. Mixing that into workable material can be a challenge. In my opinion, an electric mixer is absolutely imperative. So off the bat, that is my main gripe with it. But when it does work for me, it works well.
Last summer I bought a bottle of this garbage and paid the premium on shipping so in the end it cost me around $27. I kept mine to try to see if i can salvage it for some level of brush on primer. I tried to shoot it exactly per the instructions and all the forum posts. It seemed awfully thick coming out of the bottle. I never could get it to shoot from my Eclipse even at 45 PSI and the needle all the way open. I tried it in the Testors spray gun, and even that BARELY sputtered out. I tried to thin it with various liquids with no effect whatsoever.
I followed the advice, and emailed customer service. Three times.
There has been no answer. Clearly, Badger isnt interested in picking up the loose ends.

I keep hearing negative things about Badger’s customer service. Not a good thing to hear and hope they get their act together.
Never heard of the stuff [:^)]
I did the same with all the Mr Color I had. I know it’s suposed to be great paint but just couldn’t spray it without it spitting and clooging. Stank too much to, so in the bin it went. The only Mr I use now is their air bursh and the surfacer sometimes. I won’t even try MRP now because of the experance. The paint I currently use works just fine.
If I didn’t reply to this already then yes, I mean lacquer thinner.
That said I shot some white from an older bottle I have here just last week and it went on fine unthinned, shot with Paasche H medium tip around 25 psi.
That’s a shame. You’re really missing out on some great paint which has nothing to do with the Gunze-Sangyo stuff. Shoots straight out of the bottle and I haven’t had a single issue with any of their paints (I have a pretty diverse inventory of the stuff). Tried their white for the first time today, and it has ruined me for white paint from any other manufacturer. It doesn’t seem to have any of the issues that pretty much any white paint usually has. Shot it at 10 PSI today into a 1/72 scale F-16 intake to paint the inside of it, and it went on nice and smooth.
It’s been more than 3 weeks since my question was “forwarded to a paint specialist” at Badger and I’ve heard nothing more. I even tried directly emailing the “paint specialist” to whom it was supposedly forwarded. Nothing.
I think it’s the end of the road. I’ll go back to punching cans of Tamiya FSP and move on from this experiment.
