mixing acrylic enamel
i've got some acrylic enamel that i'm gonna try out and need to know what ratio to mix it with the reducer. i've worked with acrylic lacquer and found it needed to be mixed 1 part paint to 3 parts thinner with my particular setup. the jobber told me 3 parts paint to 1 part reducer and 1 part hardener. i tested it on a workbench and it's way too dry!!! (dry crusty look.)

Not much info there.........What product is it ?
PPG , Dupont, Sherwin-Williams, ect......
They all have different mix ratios.
If your Jobber said thats the mixture then I would say its correct.
It sounds like your gun isnt set correctly and not allowing enough material onto the panel or incorrect air pressure at the gun or both or moving way to fast and not allowing for proper application, as Acrylic Enamel lays wet.
Or old product.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
