no..it's to thin out any paint thats to thick to spray or to rid you of brush marks...makes paint flow on w/out destroying it...unlike thinning paint with reg. thinners.
I use zinsser BIN primer in the can. Cut with some denat'd alcohol to your thickness liking, dip and hang. Nice even coat every time. I think I usually do somewhere between 70-50% BIN and the rest alcohol.
