How to mix auto paint?

What is the proper procedures to mix auto paint and what is the difference in a gravity fed paint gun and a triditional? Which is better?How to mix auto paint?
Auto paints can be confusing to mix because each paint manufacturer has their own procedure.The best thing to do is study the label instructions for the right ratios of solvent and hardener to mix together.





A gravity fed gun will have the container on top so the paint flows into the gun through gravity.A suction feed gun has the container on the bottom where the paint is sucked up.Either are fine when working right.The gun of choice is now a high volume low pressure type [HVLP].


The container is usually slightly pressurized and the flow nozzle is larger.It will spray large amounts of paint with little overspray and waste.
