Read the directions. It varies.

What kind of paint are you using? If you are using bc/cc the basecoat is 1 part paint to 1 part reducer. Clear is usually 4 parts clear to 1 part hardener.

And then there's three parts, color, reducer and hardener. Gotta find the spec's. Can't tell how good you've done if not mixed right.

Yeah, I think I have used every mix ratio possible at some point. It gets confusing so read the tech sheets and follow them. Some people put it right on the can which makes it nice. Get some good clear mixing cups with the correct ratios on them also. It makes it a lot easier than using my shot glasses
