Don't forget that there are different thinners for different paints, you will need a solvent based thinner for enamel and a water based one for acrylic.
Most paint manufacturers supply a thinner as part of their range and each is specific to them, so it is best to use their thinning agent with their paint product. A more generic approach is to use water with acrylic paint and white spirit for enamel paint.
To measure the amount of thinner you are adding to the paint it is advisable to use a syringe, ideal for any liquid measuring.
