I think Scalecoat offers a different thinner for Scalecoat I and Scalecoat II.

Absolutely. It is my understanding that the formulation for the two is totally different. I think the Scalecoat I paint and thinner would damage plastic. As in melting it.

Scalecoat II thinner and that is what you should use if you are working with plastic.

Scalecoat II thinner for Scalecoat II paint & Scalecoat I thinner for Scalecoat I paint - clean up with Lacquer thinner.

The preferred method is to use Scalcoat thinner for the II paint, but in a pinch you can use regular Lacquer thinner, but do not apply too wet.
