Hey J. Julo, thanks for breaking that down, a clear understanding. I am teaching myself to paint. I have been in a friend's paint booth and sprayed a test panel once but he wouldn't take the time to show me the mixing ratios nice friend right 🤔. Since then i bought a paint gun and pcs adapter and cups. Thanks to you now i know how to mix paint, clear and primer ratios 👏

[@steveg2509]

Don’t forget strainer too!

[@J.Lulo_]

Yeah I forgot to mention the strainers but that’s because I don’t use strainers because the 3M PPS cup system comes with built in strainers. But I should’ve mentioned it for the people that don’t use the PPS SYSTEM.

[@CamaroMan79]

Say for instance I’m spray a 2k high build primer that has a 1:1 mix ratio of primer and activator. If I wanted to reduce it 5% to ease with spraying, how would I do that?

[@J.Lulo_]

I would just use my best judgment. Add a little bit at a time until you reach the consistency you are trying to achieve. Just don’t add too much because you don’t want to water it down too much. Remember it’s supposed to be high build primer to fill body filler properly.

[@niroshpushpakumara5596]

👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️

[@bossjrod]

Can i use the same universal reducer in my base coat as in my primer? Im using high tech universal reducer.

[@J.Lulo_]

Yes you should be able to use a universal reducer for base coat and primer. 👍

[@Snip59]

That shows me so much and much appreciated indeed im just a DIY in Sydney just doing little home jobs.At the moment just sprayed a Home Door House Door in Base coat but it got a few specs in the base coat after spraying can i use wet & dry 1200 then spray it with clear is that fine.

[@J.Lulo_]

You can sand the base coat with 1200 but you need to re-coat with the base coat after you sand it because you’re not supposed to clear over sanded base coat. If you get dirt in your clear you can always sand and polish it after it’s dries.

[@Snip59]

@@J.Lulo_Cheers Lulo many thanks can i put hardener in the base coat at all to spead up the process to stop any foreign stuff getting into the base coat after spraying as im painting in a garage.

[@J.Lulo_]

No I wouldn’t put clear hardener in the base. I used to use a base coat hardener to cut parts in because they didn’t get clear coated underneath the hoods. But if you want your base coat to dry faster just use a fast drying reducer.

[@J.Lulo_]

Make sure when using reducer that you pick the right reducer for the temperature. Slow reducer temperature 75 to 95 degrees medium 65 to 75 and fast 45 to 65.

[@Snip59]

@@J.Lulo_ For this house door it's oil based one side the other side is 2 k base coat I know it's funny but want to use all the oil gloss on the front .Cheers oil base takes longer dry let's hope zero specs get into it.

[@rusanyukaare179]

Hey J. Lulo, I am planning to use accelerator to speed up drying as you advised on different videos. my question is do I mix in primer, base coat, clear coat or both? And is there specific accelerator for specific paint, and lastly how do I mix it? Thank you. Sorry I ask alot but I want to be close to perfection as I can be I have never painted before.

[@J.Lulo_]

You can not use accelerator in base coat. If you want the basecoat to dry fast use a fast basecoat reducer. You can use the accelerator in the primer and the clear coat. Here’s a link the the accelerator that I use. You only need a couple of drops and you’re good. 👉www.amazon.com/dp/B0038D8LKM/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_82AZQEEPB4MZEWR4JJZ1?linkCode=ml1&tag=jlulo78-20

[@rusanyukaare179]

@@J.Lulo_ thank you my man! You’re my hero. can I use Upol accelerator on MIPO primer and clear coat or it has to be the same brand?

[@J.Lulo_]

Thanks 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. You can use that accelerator on any brand of primer and clear.

[@phillipdavis8471]

Also what is the mixing Ratio for clear coat

[@J.Lulo_]

It depends on the clear coat. Every clear has the instructions on there own mix ratios. The most common mix ratios are, 4 parts clear coat 1 parts hardener or 2 parts clear coat and 1 parts hardener. Just follow the instructions on the clear coat that you are using.

[@bensonporter1384]

What measurement u does use for sealer ...3:1?

[@J.Lulo_]

Sealer is usually 4:1:1. 4 parts sealer 1 parts hardener 1 parts reducer.

[@DatFunnyPerson]

Do you reuse Paint mixing cups? Or do i have to buy new ones all the time?

[@J.Lulo_]

Paint mixing cup are fairly cheap and it’s not worth reusing them. So I would just use a new one every time you need to mix paint.

[@TheseBygones]

Do you have a link to these cups? Where did u get em

[@J.Lulo_]

Here’s a link these aren’t the same as the once that I used in the video but they have the same mix ratios. Link👉amzn.to/3zxfGp0

[@Phantoma3]

Is the Reducer another word for Thinners?

[@J.Lulo_]

Yes. Reducer is a temperature controlled paint thinner. For example, slow reducer is for hi temperature like 80 to 90 degrees, medium is 65 to 75 degrees and fast is 40 to 60 degrees. Depending on the temperature in your area you have many to choose from.

[@johnmilner7603]

What happened to adding the hardener?

[@J.Lulo_]

I mentioned adding hardener to the primer and the clear coat.

[@phillipdavis8471]

2K Urethane Spot clear 496-00 and 2K activator 483-78 (Mid Temp)

[@J.Lulo_]

4 parts clear 1 parts hardener.

[@phillipdavis8471]

Thank you sir.

[@Supanova70]

1:1 Epoxy adding 20% reducer is done how ?

[@J.Lulo_]

Epoxy is very thick. Depending on what kind of spray gun you’re using you will have to make adjustments in the formula. Think of 1:1 like half and half and just add the reducer to get the consistency that you want. If you’re using a mixing cup go to the mix ratio on the cup 1:1 and add reducer as needed.

[@Supanova70]

@@J.Lulo_ So that's where the 20% comes in that's what I need to know how much is 20% of 121.

[@J.Lulo_]

20% of 121 is 22.

[@Supanova70]

@@J.Lulo_ I just found out you have to do it by volume

[@J.Lulo_]

I like to use a mixing cup but I can also do it by eye.

[@terryhall1660]

Hey j, my misunderstanding is on urethane paint it shows 4-2-1 Paint reducer hardner my cups doesn't have 421 so how do I mix

[@J.Lulo_]

Ok so most cups have 4:1 mix ratio. The way I would do it is use the 4:1 mix ratio and add 4 part of your main component Use the 1 parts mix 2 times with the second component and then the 1 part for your last component. Example 4 parts urethane 1 parts hardener + 1 parts hardener + 1 parts reduction

[@terryhall1660]

@@J.Lulo_ lot of arithmetic to just that. I'll try that tomorrow. Never was confused about base paint. Thanks alot.
