need help mixing paint! I'm goin to be painting a trans am hatch, bumper, and side skirts. I've already got the paint, I just need help with the mixing ratios. It's dupont paint and it calls for a 8:1/2:4 mixing ratio. I'm using WA U8774 flame red paint if that makes a difference. I've got 2 quarts of paint, would it be best to mix it all at once to make sure it's all reduced equally?

The problem with mixing it all at once is, once you add the hardener to it you have to "use it or lose it". Go by an automotive paint supply store and get yourself a mixing cup. The have the mixing ratios on the side. That way you can mix up smaller amounts and if you don't need all of the paint you can save it for a later time. What type of dupont is it?

yea, it said it has a life of around 4 hours once mixed. I've got the measuring cups but none of the ratios on the side are the right one. So its base, hardener, then reducer right?
and its Nason dupont
