If you're using Glasurit, you should use thier reducer for sure. Which one is dependent on what the enviroment is like. I usually just use the 352-91 Normal reducer, as it's a good all-around reducer. They have "fast" and "slow" for different situations.

The pics above are just for the DB. The PPW is similar in that it is almost a yellow on the BC and then the mid-coat (MC) is what brings all the pearl/depth into the finish.

Here's a high-res pic of a dash I did (member on this board) where it was requested to add just a touch of red pearl to PPW. I think it came out pretty nicely. It's PPW, but in the right light, the red glimmers at you.

Primer...I use Glasurit as well. I use the 285-60 Universal primer/filler. It has great coverage and is great when wet or dry-sanding.

Here's a zip file with all the 2004 info (need to get updated CD... ). If you have any questions about mix ratios, MSDS or anything else regarding thier products...it's in this file. It's got a ton of info about everything you'd need to know about getting your car done right.

No problemo. I'd be glad to help anyway I can.

One thing...I just re-read what I wrote, and it sounded a little mis-leading. When I was referencing the "mixing ratios", I was just referring to the amount of clear/hardener/reducer or primer/hardener/reducer. I can give you the actual paint formulas if you want them though. Just let me know how much you're needing to mix-up and which color. This would only be for Glasurit though. I don't have the programs for PPG or any other manufacturer.
