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.

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??
Thanks,
Matt Milkevitch
