 Topic: paint hardener
Posted: 07 May 2011 at 8:50pm |
I am using Valspar Restoration series to paint my WD45. I have a 20 oz can on my spray gun, I suck at math. How much hardener should I use for that 20 oz of paint?
I know I know, I missed a few places, still have to hit them but it was getting late and I wasn't going to fill the can again at 10:30 at night. probably just rattle can them rather than filling the gun again. That left housing is dirty because I just got the wheel off that side. still need to scrape grease on the right housing to.

It's Floating with magic LOL no, theres normally another my hydraulic jack under there, but I didn't want to get pain all over a new shiny expensive jack. Theres a piece of flat stock holding it to where you see the red jackstand, no idea if it's factory. Now that the primer is dried it's back under there.

most paints are 1 pint per gallon or 8 to 1... that would be 2.5 oz per 20 oz... some paints are 4 to 1-- read on the can

My paint store gives the mixing cups away for free.Clear 'beer cups' with a zillion numbers on them.Makes it idiot proof ONCE you know how to read/use them.Which is great for doing small 'touchups'. Paint can should have the ratio written on it.
