What's the best type of thinner for spraying in 20 degree uk weather. Medium or slow ? After the silky smooth finish on a book shelf I've got in shed in 2k paint. Had problems with fast thinner and fast hardner seems dry too quick and leave rough matte texture. Can I use fast hardner slow reducer or would everything need to be slow or medium? Cheers

Stick with fast hardener unless you have an oven.
Try a slower thinners, but also look at are you spraying a good wet coat and not getting overspray on areas?

Are you spraying indoors or out ? If outdoors stick to fast, otherwise you get too many insects and some dirt
At 20 degrees I would be using medium. Much hotter than this, use slow. Fast for when its colder, 10 degreesish. I would not paint below this because of possible damp problems.
All this assuming you do not have a proper booth/oven.
