Yo....it's called A-c-e-t-o-n-e....acetone. I have an old quart of the stuff in my workbench...been using it for all sorts of applications for at least 5 years...$3.99...for 32 oz.. It's what I and our customers use with this paint.
The bottle of Tru-Color thinner sez on its side: "Contains: Acetone"
So, Testors charges about $3.58 (MSRP, 1.75oz) for their enamel thinner. That's about $63 per quart. Most of our regular customers doing significant amount of painting with enamels buy thinner by the gallon...from HD, Lowes, Menards, Walmart, etc....for much less than $250.00!!!
But if Tru-Color's thinner and its cost is a reason to NOT use it, so be it. It was just a suggestion....FWIW, always.

Despite the sarcastic tone (made "okay" with a smiley face), I will probably eventually try TruColor, but not from your establishment.
I do thank all that shared input as to possible alternatives to high-dollar thinner.
Pain me as it may, it could be that I'll need to thin the paint with their thinner, and use the el-cheapo stuff for airbrush clean up.
Wow... I think I paid something like 50 cents per bottle for my first bottles of Floquil waaaay back in the dateless past!!
Still love the way it smelled. (I know, the fumes weren't good for us, but I've smelled a lot of it and I don't have no dain bramage.)
