True- but why buy two different laquer thinners for two different uses, if one will do both well? At $30 a gallon, the PPG is not much more expensive than cheap cleanup grade. I've got alot of kits to paint in the next 20 years, but I have my doubts about making it through a full gallon of thinner, using it both for cleanup and thinning.

You're of course welcome to thin Cobra Colors (or anything else) with any variety of chemical brew you choose- but when messing with laquers, I'll always choose to thin with whatever the paint is designed to be used with.
