A reducer is a solvent that is added to paint to adjust its viscosity, making it thinner and easier to apply. It helps improve the flow and leveling of the paint, ensuring a smoother finish and better coverage. There are different speeds of reducer that are used to counteract the effects of cooler or warmer temperatures on the drying time of the paint. Allowing adequate drying or flash time not only improves leveling and flow, but allows metallics, xirallics, and other additives to orient and disperse evenly over the surface.
