Thanks Eastwood. Finally a video that makes sense. I didnt think about the shape of cups not being a cylinder when using the sticks.
And thanks again Eastwood for doing these videos!

Thanks good advice
You're welcome
Like to see more Camden on cabs in harder area most time I see easy stuff being sanded
I always find a way to mix it wrong. Thanks for simplifying it Randy!
Make your own mixing stick based on some type of conical cup that you may use a lot. Using the conical cup take a measuring cup and put 2 cups of water in it then measure the height with a ruler. In a cup I use that is 4" and then is 4 parts. I mark the side of the cup or a stick that is dedicated to that cup. Then one more half cup is one part and make the appropriate mark. One more half cup of water and make another mark. Now you have 3 marks inside a conical cup 4-1-1 or 4 parts paint, one part activator and one part thinner. as long as you use the same cup and stick you always have the 4-1-1. My cup of choice is the J Box large drink size. This cup fills my gravity spray gun just right.
Nice
Just stumbled upon this video. That's a 49-53 Chevy Pickup. It's one of my dream trucks to have and mod.
HiI`m a little confuse on the mixing of the clear coat .I`m using acme finish 1.the ratios is 4 to 1parts FC720 to one part FH612 medium hardener. Do I go on the cup were it said 4 to one ratio and fill the cup to four with the FC720 finish 1.And go to 1 with the FH612 Hardener.
thanks
any recomendation for painting a jetski not jellcoat just regular fiber glass with lvlp gun and a 25 gal compressor, i have never painted before with a gun
How do I find out the ounces to mix for example 4 to 1 I know 1 to 1 would be basically 50/50
Whats that sanding roll there your using on old skool truck there ? An the grit used its being sanded down to bare metal right ?
how do you know if you need reducer and is activator and hardener the same
so how do i get the poor lids for gallon ? i tryd website but can not find them
is that pour it lid good for long term storage
How do you mix 1 to 1 primer and thinner
Well I have a implement oil based paint, can I add finish 1 medium hardener with reducer
Can you explain 4:3:1 ratio? Can't figure how to do it
👍 thx
I new at this what size tips to do primer and paint
How do you tell how much paint u need like say u are painted a hood or door cause I am restoring a 58 Chevy pickup I am doing in stages how much for spray paint gun kit
how do you know what size nozle you need?
What about 4:1:10% ? How would you calculate the 10% with some cups that only say 4:1:1 on them?
Mix on the 4:1 scale, then flip the cup around to mL. Do the easy 10% math with where you're at. Ex: 400mL. 10% reducer would take you to 440mL.
Is this where you put the pearl and metal flakes
Hiw do I do a 3.5 ratio mix?
How do you mix 8-2-1 ratio paint
How much is that spray gun kit?..y'all forgot to mention any prices on your products.
What is 5% mineral spirits mixing into primer, what ratio would that be
Hi Sir, how to orders the spray gun in the Metal Cast TksQ
If you need 4:1:1 and you use scale 4:1:10%:1 and you DON’T use the 10% scale, when you add reducer are you adding 10% more reducer? Am I over thinking this?
1st marbelized shirt i ever seen

Do you need a seal for base coat
Are use a simple piece of tape over the rim of the can when I pour piece a cake guys
What about if I'm not painting ? Can I do this too ? What if my car doesn't start ? What if my dog can't poop ? When do I have to do this ? What is the name of your neighbor ? Is it sunny there?..... Can't believe the questions that people ask ?.... WOW...
Large Rooster I’d also like to know if his dog can’t poop.
Is the register thiners
What is the 2:1:1:1? 2 paint, 1 activator, 1 reducer 1 what?
What about 10 to 1?? Why do no mixing cups have 10 to 1?
RUclips got screwed up and the video and audio is off by a few minutes.
How to mix 8:2:1 ratio. paint cups only have 8:1:1
Question...... Are all ratios read the same???? meaning like 4-1-1.... Pant + Activator + Reducer.... is Activator the same as Hardener? because I hear videos people mentioning hardener and activator...... I ask this because if you get to mix a Paint Code that requires a mixing ratio of 4-2-1 you will need to make sure to know the order in which you mix your products..... with 4-1-1- it really don't have to because 1 and 1 is 1 and the Paint is always the first number..... So please clear for me the order in which you read to pour the liquid and does it change depending on the Brand of paint use................. Thank you so much, be save and blessing to you all and families on this pandemic crisis...
Best to download the TDS (tech data sheet) for the product you're using. Usually an easy Google search. But the rule of thumb is always: paint:hardener:reducer. Some products will use 4 components. Paint:hardener:activator:reducer.
I am a professional peinter how can you help me?
Abudllatif Balogun take a English class, you have now been helped.
Can you help me with more ratio I'm tryn to get my mix right don't mean to sound stupid
Come posso fare x ascoltarlo in italiano? ??Qualcuno mi da una dritta...
What's the difference between Urethane and Enamel paint
Daniel Martinez the quality...enamel is cheap paint and you dont have to add activaror..just mix it up and its ready
If it was a 51 it would have push button doir latch.I believe halfway through 1950 they switched from pull down latches.
How does 3 parts paint find the 2 line?
Right? He lost me there!
do you know what a tripod is?
Why do u use activator?
New hear it confusing me if 3 to 1 why pour paint to the 2? I'm need 8 to 1 to 10% by the look of it you dont answer any ques.
Someone's gonna have too dummy it up some more for me ! Why do you start at the 2 for 3 to one
You decide how much mixed and ready to spray material you want total in the cup, then pick a number in the last column closest to that number. Whatever that number is, is the number you start with in the first column and use for the mix. If he wanted a little more sprayable material in the cup he could go with 3 in his final column. Then he would start with the 3 and use the 3 - 3 - 3 numbers instead of 2 - 2 - 2 he used.
I prefer the paint mixing pail becouse if you use a measurement cup and check your scale on your plastic mixing bowls that are tapered you will notice that the scale is wrong on the side of them I showed a lot of different painters that the scale on that plastic is totally off.... Get a measuring cup and check the plastic cup scale they are wrong!!!!
What's mixing pail
The throat clearing has driven me away at 3:31.
It's seven years later, and I'd like an update on the cameraman's Parkinsons, I hope he's doing well.
I think it may be vertigo
This video needs to be fixed by Eastwood, they sync is way off at least on my computer.
what if you have a hardener
You would apply this same method with the revised ratio. Often times that would be 4:1:1 so find that ratio at the top of the cup fill to the appropriate "4" line and follow up with the corresponding 1 and 1 lines.
Why is up too 5 considered 2 parts
Can i send you guys money and you buy me same tools we miss in uganda
i use a spray paint cap lol.
what is orange peel
Generally speaking, 'orange peel' is slang for paint that has left a rippled texture either from poor technique or not correcting once sprayed
Cut and buff baby!
Explain 8:4 ratio
Reduce to 2:1. 2/3 of your solution will be X, the other 1/3 of your solution will be Y.
I don’t see the lids anymore

I have a question
THE TRUCK IS A 1952 MODEL.
It’s a 51’. 52’ Had push button handles. 51’ is the only year with turn down handles and vent windows.
your video is messed up, the audio isn't synced with the video now and it's confusing...-_-
I'm very disappointed in Eastwood paint , I did my 56 Chevy from bare metal up with Eastwood from primer sealer and paint , year and a half the chop top silver metallic went flat and when water hits it it streaks then about 2 yrs the moonlight drive blue did same thing . So I contacted Eastwood and their answer was like we have no clue , so my advice DO NOT USE Eastwood paint. One would think they would have an answer better than we have no clue .
That paint sounded super thin.
I have paint all over me 🙃
Sorry to nitpick but ffs synch the audio to the video.
Soo its all ounces
unsure how others got a better representation of this but the first 2 minutes are wasted. Poor explanation and mixed sound. Expected better out of Eastwood.
