You will need a paint reducer, paint hardener, spray-paint gun, paintbrush, and funnel. Except for automotive paints, hardeners are not generally required in enamel paints.Click to see full answer. Regarding this, how much hardener do I add to paint?You will normally mix 4 parts paint to 1 part hardener 1 part reducer. If you need to mix part of the paint to do door jams then you should follow the same ratio. Factory Acrylics such as Kirker paints will come in a 3 quart gallon and require a full quart of hardener to be added.One may also ask, how do you mix enamel paint for spraying? Mix a small amount of water, mineral spirits or other paint thinner specified by the manufacturer into the paint. Refill the spray gun and test the paint again. Continue adding thinner until the paint sprays evenly and easily out of the gun or until you reach the maximum amount of thinner the manufacturer specifies. Beside above, can you put hardener in Rustoleum paint? Any Acrylic Enamel Hardener will work. I have used a product called “The Wet Look”. You can get hardeners on ebay pretty cheap. Use enamel reducer too, and not what is states on the rustoleum can.Can you put hardener in oil based paint?You can use CocoDry™ to harden and solidify both water based (acrylic & latex) and oil-based paints for disposal. Most paint hardeners rely on water as a catalyst to be effective, but CocoDry™ relies on its high absorption characteristics in its natural form which makes it especially effective with oil-based paints.
