I know that the PS system is a pre-reduced system but, for those that would like to reduce it a little more, how would we go about doing so? I've read the label where it says it can be done, but there is no reduction ratio on the label. I'm sorry if this is a question that has been posted previously, but I haven't come across the answer yet.

i have not seen a ratio chart, but i have added reducers to PS to help with spraying. All i can say is, find out what works best for your application and then mix the same every time and you will be ok.

Chris is exactly right. Reduce with acetone or lacquer thinner to what works best for you. Make sure all of the paint pigment is mixed from the bottom of the quart first.

I played around with the reduction rates using the Jet Black and I found that a reduction ratio of 2:1 (paint:acetone) worked out best.
