Motobase paint?

I am at the point to at least start thinking about paint. I have used all SPI products to this point. ( cleaners, epoxy and 2k and will use SPI universal clear) I can get motobase locally. I plan to jam the body, under hood, under hatch and inside doors at one time then mask off and paint the outside panels. My question are:
1. I am purchasing 1 gallon of paint and one gallon of reducer. The paint is motobase. ( light blue metallic). Should I purchase the motobase reducer or SPI reducer?
2. When I get the gallon of motobase should I reduce it all at one time or reduce it as I use it?
I was thinking if I mix it all at one time the color might have a better chance of being uniform as I will be painting parts at different times. If I do mix it all at one time how long would it last in sealed containers?
Thanks,
Mike
 
I just ordered two samples of Motobase from Chads Paint and autobody today. I asked this same question today
1. I am purchasing 1 gallon of paint and one gallon of reducer. The paint is motobase. ( light blue metallic). Should I purchase the motobase reducer or SPI reducer?
They said either will work and they sell both. Many people use SPI since I am using SPI for everything else I will be using the SPI reducer.
 
You can use SPI reducer.
Reduce it as you use it, because reduction drastically increases settling, which is a very bad thing.
Some say that it's best to split the gallon into 4 quarts to reduce the effects of settling and potential mismatch.
