if you wanted a better finish when using synthetic paint instead of using thinners to thin by volume, you hot spray it unthinned in a old electric deep fat fryer 1... put the tin of paint into the old fryer 2... place water into fryer below the lid of the paint so it dosn't float and fall over and undo the lid to stop it blowing off 3... switch on and wait for about 15 minutes to boil stir then spray. using hot spray method the colour retension lasts longer and shines better, you could also use ici high gloss 16 oil replenishment added to the hot paint as well in 5ml cap fulls, you can also use the ici high gloss 16 mixed with cold paint in a 4-1 mix. now this is shinnnnnneyyyyyyyy (NICE)

is did you try this yourself?

Not sure I fancy boiling paint anywhere

hi paul i used to be a commercial paint sprayer for 20 years. spraying any thing from a escort van to 40ft box trailers, tractor units,double decker busses, petrol tankers,etc any thing you see on the roads really. If the vehicle was sprayed in synthetic paint we used this system. as i worked in a commerical vehicle spray shop we needed to keep the voc content down as you are not using thinners to thin the paint , but obviously the tank has to be bigger ( to fit 3x5 litre tins in it) but it does work cheers dusty
