Paint - "wet one"

Chaps,

My (cellulose) paint is to be mixed 1:1 but a friend syas to do a "wet one" for top coat.

What's the ratio then?

Cheers very much.

ATB

Simon

Ask him?

50/50 will be like p!ss anyway. You can't always say what mix you need till you get started and see what gun and nozzle size you are using and what compressor output you have available. Best to experiment a bit first to see what rate you are putting it on at.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Provided you've got a reasonable compressor {50 litre tank] and a suction 1 litre pot I'd suggest 35% paint and the rest the best thinners you can afford. but experimenting may be worht while, but for top coat you certainly need about the 35% paint mix
