How much hardner do you put in auto paint?
Different paints require different amounts of hardener. If there is a label on the paint it should have the ratio on that. One part hardener to the about of paint you use will usually be enough. You can't store the paint after the hardener is in it, it will set up in the can. ----- In actuality a 1:1 mixing ratio of paint to hardener (catalyst) will usually result in brittle massively overcatalyzed paint that will flake and/or chip easily. However as previous stated different paints require different amounts of hardener, alway request a Product Data Sheet (PDS) or Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from the paint manufacturer or retrieve one from their website before mixing.
Can you ad paint hardener to oil base paint?
yes
Is there a additive to make gloss paint dry quicker?
That would depend on what type of auto paint. With base coat on most brands, the drying time is controlled by which solvent you use to thin the paint. With acrylic enamel it's drying time is controlled with solvent and a hardener.
What if you mixed oil based paint with latex based paint Can you fix the mix with another kind of hardener?
No, not as liquids. Latex paint is a water-based suspension, 'oil' paint is either a petro-chemical (i.e. paint thinner) or 'natural' (i.e. linseed) oil-based suspension. If you already tried to mix the 2, it can't even be recycled. Consult the local (county) recycling/waste disposal authority for proper disposal.
How do you come up with a price quote when charging to paint a room?
There is a formula used to calculate how much paint you need to paint a room. Determine what the square feet of the room you are painting is and multiply it by the number of coats you want to put on the walls. Divide that number by 400 and you will end up with the number of gallons of paint you need. The other choice is to use an online paint calculator.

What is different between catalyst and hardener?
The term catalyst is much more general than the term hardener, since hardening is only one of endless numbers of processes which can be catalysed. A hardener, therefore, would be a specific type of catalyst.
What is the correct mixture ratio paint to thinners and clear to thinners?
depends on what paint your using. acrylic is upto 50% paint to 50% thinners (same with acrylic clear) and two pack (2k) also depends on what you've got. MS (medium solids) clear or solid colour (not metallic) is 3:1 (3 parts paint : 1 part hardener) and high solids 4:1. hope this helps!?!?!? Basically if it has a hardener then it is two pack (2k) enjoy! :)

Both, strangely enough. Applying the paint to the car is a physical change. The paint is a polyurethane compound. When you get it, it's in at least two containers - the paint, and a hardener. Stir them together and they undergo a chemical change.
Ratio of thinner to paint using a spray gun.?
