How to Mix Car Hood Paint

Hi, I'm Doug, I work with twenty great guys in St.Louis at Doug Jenkins' custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Alright let's mix some paint.The first thing we're going to do is paint the hood and deck lid topsides . We have a mixing bank at our shop, thats every color you ever needed. This one is pretty simple to mix,it's a single stage black so theres no complicated mixing. He's just pouring right out of the can. Thats a graduated cup the first thing he does is put in the right amount of the paint. That there is a hardener, paint is actually kind of like an epoxy. So thats the hardener, it comes in a variety of different kind of speeds, he would have chosen a medium or slow hardener,and then there is a reducer, you can put in more or less reducer in different products to get them thinner or thicker for the desired effect. Now he's going to mix it thoroughly and carefully and he'd going to put it in his gun.
