The better you mix the paint the better results you will get. After all, you need the paint to be as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing paint with water (or other paints) isn&#8217;t hard, but it&#8217;s something that you should know. If you thin the paint too much, then the paint gets too much watery and you need extra layers to get a decent finish. If you thin it too little, then you will end with thick paint which the paint sprayer can&#8217;t atomize and most likely the sprayer will clog or you will end up with clogs at your surface.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Jump To Page Contents:<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c8bc2b0d9c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c8bc2b0d9c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/how-to-mix-paint-for-spray-guns\/#How_To_Mix_Paint_For_Spray_Guns\" title=\"How To Mix Paint For Spray Guns\">How To Mix Paint For Spray Guns<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/how-to-mix-paint-for-spray-guns\/#1_Stir_The_Paint\" title=\"1.

Add The Paint Thinner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are a lot of paint types, but two of the most used ones are oil-based paint and water-based paint. These two paints mix the same, but you need to use different materials to mix them (and I will be explaining both of them down below)<\/p>\n<p>To get the best results possible I recommend mixing the paint in a clear container. By using a clear container instead of the paint container you will get better results, plus you can only mix only the amount of paint that you need and not the full container.<\/p>\n<p>Learn More: <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/best-lvlp-spray-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\">LVLP Spray Guns Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oil-Based_Paints\"><\/span><strong>Oil-Based Paints<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you want to mix oil-based paint then you have to use mineral spirits or paint thinner instead of water. Using water works fine with water-based paints, but it doesn&#8217;t work for oil-based paints.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, you have to buy the paint thinner or mineral spirits so that adds more expenses for your project. Fortunately, you need less amount of paint thinner or mineral spirits to mix oil-based paint than it would take you to mix water-based paints with water.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using mineral spirits then it&#8217;s recommended to use no more than one-quarter of a cup for one gallon of paint. Once the paint starts to thin then I recommend adding the mineral spirits with tablespoon measures and not cup measures.<\/p>\n<p>Learn More: <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/best-paint-gun-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Spray Guns For Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water-Based_Paints\"><\/span><strong>Water-Based Paints<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As I said before, if you want to mix water-based paints then you need to use water. The problem with mixing water-based paint is that if you add to much water then some <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/can-you-paint-a-car-with-a-30-gallon-air-compressor\/\" title=\"Can you Paint a Car with a 30-Gallon Air Compressor?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air<\/a> bubbles will form in the paint. You won&#8217;t see these bubbles while you are mixing, you can only see them once you added to paint to the surface, and that can be too late.<\/p>\n<p>The air bubbles will cause you not to get the results that you want, the finish quality won&#8217;t be smooth. Plus, these bubbles also cause the paint to not stick to the surface, so the paint can peel and become damaged after a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>So you have to be careful about how much water you add. It&#8217;s recommended to use one-quarter or a half-glass of water to the paint and mix, once the paint starts to thin you have to add more water until you get the results you want. Just make sure to not add too much water.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3Test_Your_Mixture\"><\/span>3.Test Your Mixture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before moving to the surface you have to actually paint, it&#8217;s best to do a few test sprays to know if the paint is thinned properly. You can use a cardboard or a piece of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/how-to-load-a-staple-gun-a-step-by-step-guide-for-easy-use\/\" title=\"How to Load a Staple Gun: A Step-by-Step Guide for Easy Use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drywall<\/a> that you don&#8217;t need. This also helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/safety-tips-for-diyers\/\" title=\"Safety Tips That Every DIYer Should Know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">know what spray tip<\/a> you need to use.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get your cardboard and you mix the paint then add some of that paint to the spray container and start doing some tests. Keep in mind that you need to use the same exact distance. So, if you are going to stay 12 inches away from the surface you will be spraying then you need to stay 12 inches away from the cardboard too, this ensures that you will get the same results. The same exact spray tip should be used too.<\/p>\n<p>When you are spraying the paint flow should be even, if the paint flow isn&#8217;t even or it creates splotches then need to thin the paint a little more. If the runs when it&#8217;s sprayed then the paint is too thin, add more paint.<\/p>\n<p>Testing the mixture into the cardboard means that you can also test your techniques and see if you get the same results that you want. I recommend doing a few spray-tests every time you want to use the sprayer. This will prevent you from damaging the surface plus avoid the sprayer to be clogged.<\/p>\n<p>Learn More: <a href=\"https:\/\/thetoolgeeks.com\/best-paint-sprayers-for-chalk-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Chalk Paint Spayers<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Write_Down_Your_Formula\"><\/span>4.
