I've done it and it works.  Acetone is cheaper though.

Yep, acetone works or you can get cheap laquer thinner by the gallon in many dept stores.

MEK works also.  Matter of fact, I know a guy that thins the finish with MEK before spraying.  He doesn't use Thunderbird Thinner.

Don' simply spray thinner through your gun and think it is clean enough. I ruined one that way. Disassemble the gun and clean it real good. Any residual epoxy will harden and gunk all the innards up!
