What to use to thin touch up paint?

My F-Body color (Purple Pearl) is only available in the 1/2 ounce touch up tubes, but I have a few parts I'd like to paint.

Does anyone know what I should mix this with to thin it so it can be sprayed properly, what the needed ratio might be, and where I might be able to purchase said thinner?

I think you just need some reducer. Go to the local paint place, and get whatever amount you need, smallest available I think is a qt. Should only be about $10.

But if you plan on spraying much exterior stuff, a metallic will be a lot harder to match up with other parts. But if its something minor, it will look better then nothing.

use reducer, but another tube of the same paint will be cheaper than reducer.
