if you look at the side of the can ..provided you bought good paint it will say what and how much reducer, hardner,ect to put in it.





it depends on the paint manuf. and if your going base,clear





dont forget the fish eye remover, and to get a regulator so you can turn it down to ...check can again but i think its 45 psi. one other thing dont mix each cup in the sprayer...mix enough to get all the way around in one big cup then put as needed into the gun cup....cause one or two drops will make a diffrence and people will wonder why it changes colors as it goes around the car...ive seen it ..ok done it before.





if nothin else go to a napa store talk to the paint guy...tell him what your doing..they might even give you the stuff you need to do all of it if you put the store name on it!!What is the ratio of paint and thinner when using industrial paint on a car?
If there is nothing on the can then it will depend on the painter's preference and equipment. You add thinner to dilute the paint for easier spraying, so if you ask an actual painter they usually say by feel and experience. Also the spray gun nozzle and setting will dictate how much to add. Just experiment with it until you get a spray that is not to clumpy and will not run on you.
usualy 4 parts thinner to 1 part paint sprayed at about 30 pounds pressure per square inch. practice on someone elses car first. good luck
I think its 3-1 but if you read the can it should tell you spray paint is cheaper and easer
