Their suggested mix ratio is 1 pint of concentrate to a gallon of ready to spray intercoat. SPI intercoat calls for a 1:1 to a 1:3 mix with reducer-this all depends on spraying style and what you're using it for, I like a 150% reduction for an application like that-mix it 1-1.5. I reduce it even more when using it in an airbrush. So for each ready to spray quart of intercoat you would add 4 ounces of concentrate.

i have used the sem. works fine just like hok. concentration seems the same to me so for mixing go by what your used to and not exactly by what they recommend. as an example, their ratio might be fine for apple red but may be too concentrated for the mint green to pull off a blotch free finish on a big panel. or it could be just fine for small parts.
