hiya

i used acrylic to do my celica, i mixed my clear at 400ml thinner 200ml clear.

can i suggest you test somewhere (a piece of wood) to see if you get any sort of frosting when you mix it?

i run 45psi and had no issues.

again - mine was all acrylic - i won't spray 2 pack

Yeah 1:1 sounds about right from the manufacturer. If weather is hot add more thinners, and vice versa. Do a test patch somewhere, to set up your gun, and check application. Good luck man, I know it can be very rewarding, when it all works out.


regards Chuck.
