Paint vs thinner?

Just getting started painting my ‘57. Base coat, clear coat urethane. Doing a 2 tone gray and white. Data sheet calls for 2 parts color and 1 part thinner on basecoats. That mix works beautiful for the gray. When i use it for the white it is noticeably thinner. Hard to keep from making runs. Have thought of reducing the thinner in the white by 50% makeing the mix 2 parts color, 1/2 part thinner. That makes consistency much closer to the gray mixed 2-1. Question will reducing the thinner slow the flash point causing me to go slower between coats? Any thoughts appreciated, very rookie here.
