Reducers are added to auto paint to adjust the viscosity, ensuring the paint flows smoothly and evenly during application. They help improve the paint's atomization when sprayed, leading to a better finish and reducing the risk of runs or sags. Additionally, reducers can aid in drying time, allowing the paint to cure properly and achieve optimal adhesion and durability.

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.
