What kind of paint is it? Follow the manufacture's instructions; paint sellers usually have a product sheet that is really the instructions for mixing and using (spraying). Rule of thumb: when you add reducer stir ell and when finished strring count the seconds it takes for the paint on the stir stick to start dripping; no fewer than 8 seconds, no more than 25.

What is the procedure for properly mixing auto paint?

Automotive paint is made up of many different colored "toners" which are essentially pure colors of paint made up of pigment, solvent and resin. These colors are mixed together to reproduce any other color. Auto paint manufacturers generate formulas which instruct the person mixing the paint of how much of each toner to add in order to reproduce the desired color. After the color is mixed in the case of basecoat it is simply reduced (thinned) with solvent. In the case of single stage paints and clear coats that color (or clear) is not only mixed with reducer but also a catalyst (hardener) to cause an interlocking process known as a chemical drying process which makes this paint resistant to other solvents and contaminants, this keeps the auto paint from ever wiping off when re-wetted with a solvent.
