    I have made the mistake of mixing up my ratio columns. I now take masking tape to make sure I stay in the correct ratio column of the cup. I simply run a vertical piece of tape on either side of the ratio column to ensure I don't make a mistake. I find this very helpful.
    Great information Kevin! I learn a lot from you. Thanks!

It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to master car body work and spraying techniques without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great results with it.

    Clearly now a lot of re-learning has to be done to get out of old habits to do/be more professional at it :)

    If the columns and numbers confuse you just use the ounces. I need 12ozs with 2:1 mix ratio. So we actually have 3 parts. Divide the total parts(3) into the total volume in this case 12. 12oz/3=4oz. each part is 4 ounces. So 2 parts = 8ozs and 1 part =4ozs. if there is a .5 that would be 2ozs.

    Another greart explanation, thank You, but I have to ask something. If I have paint instructed to mix 5:1 (ex. 500g:100g) and I should add 30% of thinner measured by volume, does it mean I should add 30% of 500g or 30% of 600g mix :? PLZ HELP

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We're guessing it would be of total volume - but always best to check with the manufacturers instructions on the label.

  • @jeffdeluca1153
    @jeffdeluca1153 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So is the second number always tye hardener? And the third number always the reducer? Assume if no hardener then just use the 1st two ratio numbers? Thank you

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It will say on the manufacturer's instructions what the ratio is and what is what. Our Show Car Clear for example is 4:1 Clear to Hardener, but you can further reduce it at 4:1:1 Which would then be Clear, Hardener, Reducer.
      Yes if you only have two components you can just ignore the other numbers on the mixing cup.

  • @josephsutton8817
    @josephsutton8817 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question. Can you adjust the sheen as well? I want to paint my truck 2 tone with 2 different matte colors. I saw that you offer a matte black specific paint product but I didn’t see any others. I can obviously mix it with white to my desired grey but what white? Is there a satin white? Something that will stay the same matte sheen as the black. Or could I just buy two intermix colors and then just use your matte clear?

  • @JohnnyRover5557
    @JohnnyRover5557 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kevin,
    I love your videos and try to follow your suggestions. I have an Anest Iwata LPH400
    that I have dedicated to clear coat only. I bought the 3M PPS series 2 gun
    adapter to use with the PPS series 2 system cups so I could reduce clean up time
    and use less gun cleaner or lacquer thinner. The PPS2 filter clogs instantly
    while trying to spray clear. I mixed the clear according to mfg. instructions 4/1/1.
    4 parts clear 1 part activator and 1 part reducer. I live in FL so I am using
    the slow activator. When I remove the screen filter in the lid small clumps of
    clear come out while spraying. I tried to use the Anest Iwata screen with the
    PPS2 lid with filter screen removed and the PPS 2 pulls the screen into the
    cup. Do you have any other suggestions other than buying an Anest Iwata
    aluminum cup and using their filter? I have invested much money in the 3M PPS 2
    cups etc.

  • @nickphilips3570
    @nickphilips3570 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I need to mix for sealer. 4:1:20%. what does the 20% look like or mean? 4:1:2?

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      So you get your 4:1 going followed by the last component, which is based on 20% of the total volume. You could think of it as 4:1 then 1/5 (20%).

    Great video as usual I have a couple questions... I’m a beginner at this painting and I’m doing a spot repair on my VW, I got my base coat from my local auto body (a pint) I didn’t mix it with any thinner or reducer (thinking it came mixed) I put it in the paint gun it came out like sand, did more adjusting still came out like light sand.. should I have added reducer and thinner or both lol?? And if so how would I fin the right mix to give it the same finish as the factory?? Please let me know thanks!!! I refuse to give up!!

  • @javapuppylife1773
    @javapuppylife1773 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi I'm a first time painter. I went to my local paint store and I bought one gallon of single Page paint I told to John and I wanted it to be 2 gallon spray obal and he gave me all the materials I would name the paint And the Reducer and the hardener.I bought the mixture cubs but I'm having trouble. I have a 500 ml cup on my done. I'm trying to figure out the ratio of how much aint reduce or and hardener I need to mix. Here's the problem I'm having so if I put half paint in half reduce or how much hardener do I need to put in. The instructions that came with my paint tell me I need to put in 8 2 1. The problem is this does not make 2 gallon spray obal. I'm trying to figure out how to make 2 gallon scribble out of my materials but at the same time break it down in to amounts that fit in my gun but gun amounts that equal the 2 gallons. I understand the if I put half pain 1/2 reduce or that that is fine but I can't figure out how much hardener I need to add to each 500 ml cup on my gun. If you could help me would be awesome

    What should I do? Add more reducer ?

      Brung the gun closer say 4-5 inches from the substrate and if it is not helping you might have to increase the fluid. Or else change the nozzle tip and add reducer to accomodate

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depending on how you order your base coat you'll either just be pouring it directly into the paint gun OR reducing it and then pouring in gun as you go.
      Same thing applies to clear coat you'll start spraying and then mix activator as you go along and pour into gun.

  • @occamsrazor1285
    @occamsrazor1285 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You know, it's funny; I was always only OK at math in school ie failed if I didn't pay attention, but would pass with a C if I did. Fractions weren't hard per se, but not easy either. But what turns out to be easy is understanding what these parts and ratios mean on these cups. Somehow it seems like fractions in school masqueraded as understanding math intuitively, but really was just a bunch of rote memorization. The exact opposite is true of auto paint mixing ratios (seems like memorization, but with all the numbers on the cup, one has to intuitively understand their meaning to get them right), and for the first time, fractions just make sense. That pretty much decides it: when I have a kid, he's gonna learn to mix paint.

      @eastwoodco  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The ratio doesn't change, but the amount will. There are smaller cups. Also, the chart on the cups is set up for different amounts. So if you want less than a quart, there is a 5:1 chart on the cups for lesser amounts as well.

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that is how it would work. Or you could use one of the other numbers, but always use the same number for the paint and activator. Under the 3:1 column, select how much you want to mix (about half a cup, whole cup, 1/4 cup, etc) and see what number in the 2nd column (activator column) is close to that amount, and then use that number for both the paint and activator. Hope this makes sense. Here's another video that may help: th-cam.com/video/csH10VkBfxc/w-d-xo.html

      Hey Robert - we've seen you comment about our paint prices a couple times now and as we mentioned before we have paint to hit every project and budget. We even have Ready To Spray base coat - so it is pre mixed and you don't have to do it.
      We'd challenge you to go check out the marketplace and compare our paint and top coating prices to others.
      For example a gallon of House of Kolor Kosmic Urethane Show Clear and Catalyst is $364.98 on a competitor site.
      vs.
      a gallon of Eastwood Show Car Clear and Activator is currently $242.96.
      And as we mentioned before we have gallons of base coat sub $200 as well.

    • @naminnooman

      Nothing...it's 1K, you just open the lid and use it without any mixing other than stirrling but once the kid is open you only have so much pot life

    Could these cups be used to mix and measure for resin purposes?

    I find some products are thicker than others, even if your mix ratios are right the mix comes out thicker than the other. how do i get just the right viscosity for spraying the paint correctly. i do this by eye but i would like to find a way to get the same viscosity every time, for primer, base coat, clear coat etc. please make a tutorial on this. Thanks

    i have a measuring stick that says 100:50 , is this the same as a 2:1 ?

    So what I’m confused about is if your ratio is two to one why do we go to the fifth line.

    I got a paint that is 4.1:1 with an activator and a reducer..How in the heck do I do that?

    • @davidhur09
      @davidhur09 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      John Bias 4 parts base to 1 activator and 1 reducer so base = 4 activator = 1/4th and reduced is 1/4 just keep the activator and reducer exactly the same and add 3/4s more than what the activator and reducer are......ya get me?

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should use the recommended reducer for the paint you're spraying.
