I think it's crucial to use Tamiya thinner with Tamiya acrylic paints, mostly because it retards drying. That allows the paint to level before it gets dry. But their spray-can paints are synthetic lacquers, and hardware store lacquer thinner works just fine with them.
Spitting is usually caused by insufficiently thinned paint.

I am using Nason thinner for all of my paints right now and I have had some problems! any suggestions?

Hmmm. What kind of problems?
Sounds like you might be using the reducer intended for their urethanes. It's potent stuff! I avoid it for health reasons. Unless you're painting 1:1 cars, you won't lose any of the benefits of automotive paint if you thin it with hardware store lacquer thinner. And it's a lot safer to handle.
