I bought a few bottles of this. What should I thin it with? Says it contains MEK, MIK, iso alcohol, Toluene, Mineral Spirits, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether.

ISO alcohol and mineral spirits seems like a strange combination.  Plain ol' lacquer thinner will likely do the job (but to a test spray on some item what is unimportant).  Don't they sell a dedicated thinner/reducer for their products?

Wow! Looks good! You didn't waste any time.  I do like the translucent trucks too!   Yeah, I know, they'll get painted.  :)

Do you have a before and after? I'm curious how well it conceals layer lines in 3D prints

It was printed flat. No lines.

Previously I sprayed it with grey Tamiya primer from a can. I love the stuff, but it is kind of thick.

Tamiya white is the less bulky of the two primers.  Both are useful for different tasks.
