Lacquer Thinner is required for thinning lacquers and automotive paints while Paint Thinner is optimal for thinning oil-based paints and coatings. Although the products are both solvents, Lacquer Thinner is not recommended for architectural oil-based paints and is much more flammable than Paint Thinner.
