use standard unless your going to paint when there is a bit of dampnes in the air humid, later on in the evening etc or cold. Use a quality thinner though

You should use a slower 'drying' thinners for topcoat, this allows time for the paint to flow when on the surcface, and the varnish in the paint to rise to the surface.

Your paint factor should be able to advise, but if you ask for top gloss thinner you'll get the right stuff.
