all done now cheers,
was 2 pac got the ratios of a paint site, car looks nice for a 1st attempt i rekon

I used to spray celli, mixed up to 70/30 thinners/paint sometimes, so it's extremely runny. Can layer it up nicely then.

But as ed said, it depends on the paint.

different paints and different primers have different ratios, dont try and guess because if u get it wrong u will spend ages trying to correct it, if u know the paint make maybe look on the website
some paints require thinners, some require nothing, some require hardeners and thinners, so may require activators

primer: it depends if it hi build? can be 2 parts primer to 1 parts hardner 10% thinner, hence why it called 2-1 or you can get 3-1?

2k paint: 2 parts colour to 1 part hardner an 10% thinners(if its cold dont add thinners) 2k already has laquar in it hence the hardener! must be put on in wet coats

base coat: 50/50 50% paint an 50% thinners, dont put it on wet just dust coats, tacky rag after every coat, when dry mix laquar same as primer depending if its 2-1 or 3-1

Depends on the paint like ed said

Get a data sheet for the paint you are using. Different brands may require different ammounts of thinner.

someone told me 2 thinners to 1 paint (but dont quote me on that!)!
