Let's start out by saying I am no were close to any expert
in this area. I had a similar question on 24087 Korean green
for a M37. I received a few responses and came up with this
formula. 8:1:1:1 (8 parts paint, 1 part reducer, 1 part hardener,
1 part flattener) I used the gillespie paint but my was semi gloss.
I went to NAPA parts store (main warehouse in Des Moines Iowa).
The paint is synthetic enamel (or however you spell it). I got hot weather
reducer (they had hot or cold). I can give you part numbers to everything
I used. The paint guy at warehouse was very helpful, but I don't think
regular
stores have the knowledge. Feel welcome to ask me any questions.
I only got 1 coat on mine (will get to second coat when things slow down).
I ordered 2 gallons and 4 spray cans. Radiator fins were still red because
I didn't know how to strip them. I shot 1 coat on radiator and then filled
in
with spray can ( I was in a hurry, going to MV show next day) paint matched
the spray can perfect, so I think it is a good ratio.
Also thanks to those who helped me when I asked similar question to forum
if I missed you before.
