Hi everyone,

I'm just about paint some already primed MDF with High Gloss Enamel paint. I want to spray it with my compressor and spray gun and I'm wondering how much I should thin the paint. would it be around 25% - 30%?

If anyone could help me out with an Idea that would be great.

Thanks
Geoff

Enamel only needs about 10 to 15%(max), the thicker you can get it on the better the shine(2 thick coats is better than 4 thin ones)... do not overspray whats allready been sprayed within 1~2 minutes.
