Alan, Most Enamels are thinned with what we Yanks call "Mineral Spirits". I'm not sure of your term at the moment, but the labels on the paint should say what to use. I would think that the same stuff you use to wash the brushes would serve as an adequate thinner. Maybe a little experimentation before ruining a whole bottle is called for.
