    The paints supposed to be on the part you're painting, not the gun ;) (Nor your kitchen floor for that matter) :roflmao:

    If the red is a base coat it should be thinned 50/50 thinner.
    No hardner is added.
    The clear coat is 2 to 1 ie 100ml clear to 50ml hardener and 10% thinner if required.

    Trying to help you here because the finish on them panels is awful.
    If you need any help pm me.

    No hardner goes in the base coat that why the finish is so poor.
    You describe a 3 stage pearl which is a red base a pearl coat and a clear coat.
    Only the clear coat has hardener in it.
    The base and pearl are just thinned upto 50/50.
    You should not need to flat it before the clear coat or after the clear coat.
