reduce car paints.
Mixing automotive paints with the correct mixture of reducer is very important to achieve a smooth professional finish. Like the majority of other paints, automotive paint must be reduced with an acrylic reducer in order to become thin enough to be sprayed with a paint gun. The mixture of paint or clear coat to reducer is always 4-to-1, for example 4 ounces of paint to 1 ounce of reducer.
Instructions
1. Open up the paint you will be using and mix it for a couple minutes with a paint stir. Pour the paint through a strainer into a mixing cup that has liquid ounce measurements printed on it.
2. Using another liquid ounce mixing cup, measure out one part reducer to four parts paint. Pour the reducer into the paint and thoroughly mix it together using a paint stir.
3. Place the paint strainer into the cup of the spray gun and pour the paint through it. Adjust your spray gun and test spray the paint onto a scrap piece of cardboard to make sure it's the correct consistency.
