Question

help lighten it up?

I bought this paint. https://www.duplicolor.com/duplicolor/step1.php

About how many drops of lacquer thinner should i put into the paint in order to lighten it up just a tiny bit?

Answer 1

I would say try 2 drops of thinner and check it. If it is still too dark, add another drop until you get a match.

Answer 2

lacquer thinner will not lighten it up ,just make it thinner , i don't know what to put in it to lighten it, lighter silver?

Answer 3

There is no way thinner will lighten it up. The only thing that will is a lighter colored  paint. Also if that's not lacquer, lacquer thinner will curdle it like cottage cheese.

Answer 4

How Old is the Car? Good Paint & Body Shop to Match it better.
