Default Thinning paint

I recently tried to touch up the paint on my Maule. The paint went on
fine and seemed ok. I flew yesterday in IMC and rain. Most of the touch
up eroded away in under four hours of flying. The factory paint is ok.

I thinned the paint 50/50 with VM/Naptha. It flowed and stuck ok. Any
suggestions on another thinner that would make the finished product
harder? Would a heat lamp after partial drying help?

Michelle
