Suppose you were wondering why we're selling lighter fluid. As it turns out, Zippo Lighter Fluid is a well-known hack for thinning and cleaning up enamel paint.

Because it evaporates quicker and has a less intense smell, Zippo Lighter Fluid is an excellent tool for cleaning up your panel lining and thinning enamel paint. It's so πŸ”₯.

I’d heard about the enamel paint thinning trick and finally tried it β€” this fluid cuts through the gunk like nothing else, and the can’s spout pours clean without drips. A little goes a long way, so this bottle will last me ages.

Harper β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

The little pour spout is a lifesaver when I'm mixing small batches of enamel paint β€” no messy drips or wasted drops. It thins the paint down to a perfect consistency for panel lining without any clumping, and cleanup is a breeze too.

I bought this specifically to thin my enamel panel liner, and it worked exactly like the tutorials said it would. The fluid cut through the paint smoothly without leaving any brush streaks, and cleanup on my palette was a breeze.
