Is it possible to spray Zinc 182 Anti Rust Primer? If so how? would i just do something like 3:1 with thinners? If so what type of thinners?

Not sure what Zinc 182 primer is based on but try thinning it with cellulose thinner till it runs off a mixing stick rather than drips off.

Dont make it too thin, like water.

The try test priming something.

If it works out well, then bingo.

Although, I wouldnt zinc prime a whole car to be honest, theres no need.
