Thanks Sir.

I had that table you are talking about, but I can't find it either. I basically won't mix anything anymore. If I do one color in enamel then all are enamel. I go as far as to do all colors by the same manufacturer as well when using enamels. I have found that even though the paints are enamels that some or most manufacturers have their own thinners and those can cause problems between different brands.

Screwed up one or two paint jobs on my trains, not willing to do that on my truck.
