People get good results with widely varying amounts of thinning, including none. It depends on your spray equipment and temperature.

Get the Behlens lacquer reducer--don't thin with hardware store lacquer thinner. Experiment.

FWIW, I thin 10-15%. But I use a mix of the instrument lacquer and Mohawk (same company) Piano Lacquer, because I find the instrument lacquer somewhat over-plasticized.
