What is the solvent for New Holland paints? Everything I've tried, including lacquer thinner, mineral sprits, even gasoline, to clean my brushes won't touch it. The paint (New Holland Blue Acrylic 9613386DS) contains Xylol, Toluol and Petroleum Distillates. Will a Napata or some other solvent do the trick?I suppose New Holland Thinner is an option but I'm not thinning to spray, just clean-up. Thanks for any help.

I did a quick web search on acrylic paint thinners. There are a few hits. One is a hazards database where quite a few acrylic paint thinners are listed, but not New Holland. The info gives quite a few different solvents. So, finding one by trial and error may be unreasonable and costly. However, from the paint ingredients you listed, I figure that toluene and xylenes would be good guesses, but they might be hard to get and expensive. I'd try isopropyl alcohol, methanol and ammonia just because they're readily available. You might just ask a dealer what's in the thinner. The can should have contents, hazards and toxicology info on the can. In recent years, solvent costs have gotten so high and disposal problems so large that I don't bother to clean brushes any more. I buy cheap brushes and wrap them in aluminum foil after use if I'm going to use them again in a few days. When they become unusable, I throw them away and buy new ones. Probably better for me not to be working around solvent fumes any more than necessary as well. ....
