Things You'll Need:
- Auto paint
- Metal mixing can
- Reducer
- Paint stirrer
- Funnel
- Paint gun
-
Step 1
Purchase auto paint that most closely matches the color of your vehicle. If you know the specific color, go to the auto paint store and request the color.
-
Step 2
Pour the auto paint into the metal mixing can. Estimate the amount needed. Remember it's better to make too little rather than too much.
-
Step 3
Mix in an equal amount of reducer. If you are using 12 ounces of auto paint, for example, you'll mix in 12 ounces of reducer.
-
Step 4
Combine the mixture thoroughly with the paint stirrer. The paint must be completely mixed with the reducer before moving forward.
-
Step 5
Use a funnel to pour the mixed auto paint into a paint gun. You're now ready to paint the vehicle. Mix more paint if needed to refill the gun and complete the job.
