Go back to where you got that and buy the thinner for it. Auto paint comes in a
variety of formulae and it's best to buy thinner made for that paint by the same
manufacturer. Depending on the formula, you may also need a hardener for it.

For the usual oil based paints used on home projects, mineral spirits is better
than naptha. MS has an oilier formula. For this reason, naptha makes a better
cleaner.
