Have a look at:

It is best to use the Humbrol brand of enamel thinners – if it goes wrong then you know who to blame! Always experiment first on something other than your model to make sure the paint goes on as you want and properly dries. White spirit used to be fine and my personal choice, but now some cheap brands seem to affect the enamel adversely.
