Yes I know but I needed to match the interior colors of the old Dart and my local body shop had a gun to read the paint and the software to try to get a match. Only the Nason came up with a good match. He gave me the paint and harder, no reducer. Do I need reducer? Several threads say you don’t need reducer as it is thin enough. Thoughts?

I read it as 8 parts paint, 1 part activator and 2 parts reducer. There are a few threads about this paint not hardening and 8:1 for a Urethane many argue is not right. 4:1 is typical.

I've sprayed a lot of the ful thane and always mixed it just like you said. Never had a problem with it and it always looked nice
 
Shot it today.... then I shot a test panel for the main color for the wife to approve, Motobase. What a difference. As Chad Sperry said once Motobase goes on like ink. Perfectly laid out with zero indication of variations in the metallic that I was scared of in the first coat. Did not really look like it needed a second but I did it anyway. Then I realized I did not have any UC activator so I could not put on a slick coat of UC! Damn... I shot it with Krylon gloss to give her an idea. She loves the original Mopar dark turquoise so that is what we are doing. Back to the Nason. It went on like watered down cool aid in comparison. Took 3 coats to get it to look as covered as the Motobase and it is taking infinity to dry. 2 hours later it is still sticky and a few bugs are still getting stuck to it so I dragged it in the laundry roomwhere there are no bugs....... Have the dark turquoise Nason for the center of the top of the dash as the original was. I am thinking of hitting that with the Motobase and then just clearing the whole thing with UC....
