Automotive paints are quite sensitive to temperatures: use the following thinners/retarders. If you must paint at higher temps, add an anti-wrinkle agent:
DuLux Thinner Temp Range Centari Thinner Temp Range
#8508 below 65 F #8034 below 70 F
#3812 65-75 F #8022 70-85 F
#3864 70-80 F #8093 above 85 F
#8522 above 80 F
Note: While spray painting is the norm in North America, it is possible to go the traditional Brit route and brush paint your Land Rover. (See Mike Rooth's article in a past OVLR Newsletter) or you can paint a more modern way (ie using a spray gun ) as Alan Richer did. The requirement is that the paint be mixed differently for such application. The DuLux cannot be clear-coated, though the Centari can be protected in this fashion. DuLux can be mixed for brush application (like for roofs) rather than spray applicatio, though. DuPont "Corlar" two-part epoxy is another primer alternative. As it is intended for aircraft, it is only available in gallon cans, and in grey. Better living through chemistry.
