i hope i can be of some help!but i'm assuming this paint is enamal or urithain(although i don't believe i spelled the latter correct...but oh well)the way i mix my paint is one gallon paint to 3 quarts of thinner to start as i go if needed that way you don't thin to much.air pressure that i use is aprox,45 to 50 psi with a fan of about 7"to9" making sure not to get frosty streaks or spots,also with a distance of about 12"from area that you are spraying.as far as hardner i ad about half of a cap(that is a cap that is the size of a spray can cap)then on my last coat i increase my hardner to 3/4cap full. the main thing is to have a clean surface prep is important.i usually wipe entire thing that i'm painting with the type of thinner i'm using then take a tac rag and go back over.that way you can check everything you have done making sure you've missed nothing.i know this seems like alot but it's makes for a better job.this is basically how i have done cars for years and turned out nice work this way.if you have any questions at all i would be glad to answer them,don't hesitate to call.when i started painting years ago i learned the hard way.my # 937-452-1366 good luck,max(ihdude)
