Back in the day many sign painters used various additives in lettering colors. Kerosene, linseed oil, as well as commercial preparations like Penetrol and Chromaflo were all used. I believe the conventional wisdom now is to not to use any of them in the lettering colors as they are formulated today.
However, both a low temperature and a high temperature reducer are available under the One Shot label.

Of course, neither of these products solve the problem of cold hands.

Hi All, Merry Christmas etc...!
while in Ventura CA we used linseed oil and Japan dryer, kerosene (60s &70s)
also DuPont synthetic reducer.. You have to find your groove!! Experiment..
When I got to Burbank, during the 80s we were all in a hurry! lol
I switched to kerosene and dryer if really cold, again we were in a hurry..
now if you stroke the paint thick and slow... linseed oil & dryer..
if you are a speed demon, laquer thinner. the old kind.. not the cow's milk or synthetic reducer..
Hope this helps..

Use to heat up linseed oil and a little turps, smells bad, on a hot plate and use that for a medium. The paint will flow better when the brush touches it. It gets a fast skin but when you touch the brush back to it it will flow again.
