Hi Guys
Long timesince i've used this and thanks to a computer crash I've lost all my data sheets for 2K paints. How do I mix the following....2K yellow etching primer I've got the activator and 2K thinners but I can't remember if it's 50 50 etching primer / activator or 50 40 10 primer / thinners / activator.
Got to get the chassis in paint tomorrow cos i'm back on nights
many thanks
tony

The ratio's vary between manufacturers, give your paint supplier a ring to double check. If you have yellow etch, it is chromate which is more than a little dodgy on the HSE front. If you can smell it whilst spraying, it is doing you harm. It has more carcinogens in 1 litre than 2 lifetimes of smoking.

Stay safe.
