When spraying DiamondFinish Clear, thinning requires a slower evaporating solvent than standard paint thinner — fast evaporants cause the coating to dry too quickly, leading to orange peel, dry spray, or poor flow-out.
You can thin DiamondFinish Clear 5–30% with KBS #1 Thinner — the recommended thinning product formulated specifically for KBS topcoats.
💡 No KBS #1 Thinner on Hand? In a pinch, Xylene can be used as a substitute when spraying DiamondFinish Clear. It has a similar evaporation rate and is widely available at hardware stores. |
