Try my method. You'll find it works better.

I will, I assume the blending solvent at paint store is a replacement for using reducer for blending. Is it better?

[cjperotti]

Maybe. I've been blending before those products came out and see no need to add additional expenses or inventory. Although, the prices of what I do use tend to go up regardless.

[cjperotti]

Just an additional note. I don't use reducer at all. I use dupont 3661S with everything I finish coat. Fast dry thinner (any brand available) for primers and 2K. Again, I keep expenses and inventory down.

Thank you for clearing that up, I probably would have done that wrong for years to come.

I have to agree also... but I think your looking for a "rattle can" solution ,right? so at the paint shop they can mix you up a pint and you can put it in a co2 paint sprayer "reuseable rattle can" to get what your after...dont try your first blend without a pro there to literally hold your hand to show the technique we use

I would like to thank you all again, it looks like I can get close which is all I'm looking for at this time. I have several projects going on at the same time and not enough money, LOL! Anybody have any suggestions to fix that?

Thank again
