Does anything need to be added to Automotive Acrylic paint before spraying? And does it need clear coat?

you will need to add thinners. any auto store will provide you the correct type. most manufacturers will recommend a mix ratio of about 60% paint to 40% thinners, although that is a guide only. the best way to find the right mix is to use your gun and experiment on a spare panel etc. if the paint has not got pearl or mettallic in it, then it will not need a clear coat. hope this helps.Does anything need to be added to Automotive Acrylic paint before spraying?

depends on if its base or single stage. base needs the right reducer and needs a clear coat. single stage just needs the right hardner and reducer.Does anything need to be added to Automotive Acrylic paint before spraying? And does it need clear coat?
will need to be thinned





this makes it easier to spray..%26amp; gives a nice smooth finnish..
YES a ton of chemicals actually well not actually a ton but quite a few.... the right reducers.. fish eye removers.. anti orange peal additives etc etc etc.. thats why painters are painters .. its not as easy as you think.. a 5 point variance in ambient air temp an 2% humidity makes a big dif in the paint formula for auto... You do the wrong mix for the situation.. you may as well just use latex house paint and a roller.. cuz thats what its gonna look like anyway...





You dont have to clear coat though.. its not required but its not a bad Idea.. but thats usually poly urethane...
