no urethane reducer does not work in all basecoat...
if youre spraying a base that requires paraffin reducer you better use that.

other wise the above post is correct. if the reducer is white and milky do not ever use it in anything but basecoat

You need both parts to make up the whole? Dupont ChromaPremier comes to mind. In such cases it isn't a thinner/reducer but rather an activator/catalyst. 1968 Coronet R/T ACTS 16:31

no it is not 2k, it is actually a wax that keeps metallic controlled and such...
you can use urethane reducer in it but will look blotchy

it will still dry like normal and spray normal the metallics will just look ****.

Yeah that contains paraffin wax also. And can be used in other bases containing paraffin. But I would recommend staying within the brand when it comes to paraffin.
