Always check the product sheet that is supplied by the supplier. Most automotive paint now days needs an activator and reducer in proper proportions or it won't cure correctly. If you mix too much it will be a solid lump within 24 hours. Modern paint doesn't dry, it cures. Also be sure to ask for a mixing cup, it will be marked with the proper ratios.
Tod Jones Harrisonburg Va. 67 Spitfire Mk II -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Milkevitch Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 2:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Paint Thinning Fellow Listers; Does anyone have an idea on what ratio to thin automotive paint? I recently purchased a quart of BRG for my '78 Spit and I need to shoot some patchwork I did in the trunk area. Does 1:1 (vol/vol) paint/reducer work, or should I shoot for thinner than that??
