Finally coming down to the day where I'm going to spray a fender and a couple spots on dad's truck. I'm going to spray a single stage enamel on it and I need to use some hardener in it. The guy at my paint store told me he wrote down what ratio of hardener to use to product, but he lied--he didn't. And, since it's Saturday, they're closed. Does anyone know how much hardener I should use for a single stage enamel?

With PPG, its 8:6:1 ratio of paint, reducer, hardener.

The line I use is 4:1 paint to activator. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I use PPG Delstar. I only used it as an example. Best would be to check with the manufacturer for the exact mix for the product line.

You wouldn't drive crosscountry without a roadmap would you? The data sheet includes spraying tips, pot life, and various reducers for varying temperatures. Good luck.
