I thought I read a post (cant find it anymore) that you can use paint thinner to shine or polish a painted surface.

I have some surface areas that are not as shiney as other spots. I used a 2 part epoxy paint and would like a more consitent shine.

Can I use the thinner to shine it up? or will this cause more problems?

Thanks

Doesn't sound right to me. How about a buffer?

I would use a polish to polish :)

I never heard of solvent polishing .. but I have my doubts.

What kind of 2 part paint..and how many coats ? Basically are you going to risk burning through your paint if you put a buffer on there ?
