Thinning One Shot Paint for Pinstriping 

I pinstripe and paint with 1 shot a lot. I got tired of dealing with the paint skinning over and picking chunks out of my work, so I developed a way of keeping that from happening. I transfer all my paints to PET plastic bottles with flip top caps. I put a 1/4-20 nut in the paint, and a stainless steel mesh screen in the lid. Sometimes the paint will still skin over but I shake the bottle with that nut in the paint like a spray can. The nut breaks up the skin and the filter keeps the chunks out. Plus I have incredible control over how much paint I use with the flip top cap.

I never use the paint right out of the can anymore. I found it skins over and you lose more paint that way than you actually use. I pour my 1-Shot into small baby food jars, That way it's easier to open and get started right away. My cans are stored sealed off good and place them upside down to keep the paint from skinning over. It works great that way. Less waste too.

Thank you for the video. I love the animals at the end!! ❤

I have been doing this for some time now but I think I’m still putting to much reducer / MS or . I’m still trying to find that drag I keep hearing about

Cool thank you!! I need some high reflective paint not much but I need some, what would you suggest ? It needs to be outdoor and it’s for a roadside sign.

I wanted to know everything I needed for 1shot paint as far as thinners, reducers, hardner, I seen high temp and low temp I don't know the difference? I have brushes, 1shot paint, cups, not shire if I have to buy the 1shot brush oil and cleaners. Don't use laqaur thinner will ruin the brush

That dog at the end!!!! So cute! What did you say you were using to thin your One Shot?

Put your 1 Shot in plastic bottles with spout.

Kafka Brush Company is for sale

Store your paint upside down then the skin will form on the bottom of the tin
