Should say on the tin mate, all paints are different so one ratio for one paint wont work with another.

The paint we use at work is 2:1:25%

Base:Hardener:Thinners

But then we've got another type that is 1:1:25%

Then another thats 3:1:10%

they are all different.

Hell, ones 2:.7:1.6 work that one out lol

Be careful, you might mix it up and it might look amazing but it will either never dry or take ages to dry because you havent put enough hardner or thinners in.

If its a well known paint your using, the manufacture usually has that sort of information either called "tech data" or "application guide" avilible on their website.

Just for an e.g. heres a link for the tech data sheets for sikkens paint...
