Hello all,
So I am going to be applying a coat of Rustoleums bare metal primer on to a thin layer of their self etching paint today but I need some help.. I am going to be spraying it on and I have a math question. I think I am going to thin it a tiny bit to help it flow through the gun a bit better. Now on the can it says to thin no more than 5% by volume with mineral spirits but I am terrible with math and can't figure that out lol. First can I just thin it in the rusto can and will it be ok if I don't use it all? And if I do it in a separate container I probably will do small batches of 10oz or less. So if I do 10oz whats 5% of that? 10x.05 is .5. so do I use half an ounce or thinner? Sorry for such a trivial dumb question..
