Default urethane reducer

I picked up a quart of Harley Sedona Orange paint along with a quart of clear and the activator. It says to reduce the paint 8:1:2, 8 parts paint, 1 part activator, 2 parts solvent. I assume when they say solvent, they mean reducer. Can anyone recommend a good universal reducer brand? I though maybe go with ppg since I think ppg makes the acrylic urethane paint for Harley.

Yeah. You can use PPG's (Ditzler) DT885 (med reducer) It is a general temp. 70 to 80. But get the appropriate temp. reducer for your weather.
