i totally agree with big daddy on this one.. i paint alot where i work , and on the side sometimes for some spending cash. if ur gonna use the nason , i would put an ounce or two Less reducer in the first coat ( to help it cover). then after the car was totally covered with the first coat spray a coat like u normally would. then on the last coat mix it half clear " mix the clear as normal" ( ive found nason clear # 497-00 and cat. # 483-79 works really good) and as for the paint mix it with just a little reducer........ it also works with out the reducer...... i usually mix a full cup of clear and just add a few ounces of paint for tint on the first coat of clear. then one more coat of straight clear.
