yes, I overlooked that pdf, I'll look harder for instructions from now on, thank you.
I'm sure of how flat and gloss paint mix together sometimes rendering nothing like satin.
I have added flattener to gloss, but never the other way around, gloss from flat.
So I'm after the magic number that really works here. Trial and error lead me to spraying the matte @ 50% dilution or so, so about 2:1 with warm water.
I'm using the correct methodology I think, that is,
spray 1 seal coat, medium to light for keying, then after 20 or so, 1 nice 4 pass omnidirectional application using around 50?psi and less material than more discharging through a .017 tip in a 2 or so inch fan spray pattern @ 12 inches yonder to eventually build a three coat layer over 24 hours that is Xmm thick.
Here in this example what does x equal?
1 key coat+3 build coats=Xmm thick?
I'm randomly guessing I leave <mm in a thick enough coat?
I wonder what that number is
OK well heck,
your gracious help has given me more than a charge of respect on your terms,
thank you
