Hey everybody! I got to do a little touch up work on a sail panel. Respraying the whole roof,sail panels and quarter panels is still on the table,still an option,still might just do it. BUT! If i knew what blending solvent to buy for acrylic enamel single stage, I would try that first,to save a lot of work. If I'm not happy with the results,I will do the whole panel,no biggie just willing to try ,but I don't know what to buy. Thanks

im not aware of different blending solvents, for a small panel a aerosol blending solvent should work fine

back when a/c was the stuff we would use a slow reducer. I use to use DuPont Centari and you could blend the edges with 8022 or 8093 reducers.

Thanks Jay! I was hoping you would see this! You helped me in the past and I still appreciate it! You always seem to be straight forward. So is it 100% reducer on the blend edges?

yes it will produce good results maybe not show quality but usable. I would shoot the A/C then have a detail gun with reducer only to blend the edge. be carful and not put it on heavy or it will run.
