I don't like the "ready to spray " mix because it takes the flexibility I may need out of the equation. What ratio it was mixed, temp range, did the reducer have an activator as part of the formula for it. Etc. I talked friend into using Wanda. When he discovered it was already reduced he felt cheated and never bought anything else from that store.
Keep in mind that metallics lay out better with slow or very slow reducer. The better the quality reducer the better the result. SPI reducer can’t be beat for metallics imho.Valid point. I went with medium reducer in the ready to spray metallic Limco paint. The temps where mid 70's out here for two weeks. I added medium activator, once ounce per sprayable quart.
I didn't want to challenge my local jobber seeing as he gave me the metallic paint and clear for free. He took a liking to the project build.
