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. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

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. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

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 ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

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. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
