it uses a "DT" reducer and you have to use according to temp. so if it was in the 55-65 range good to use DT860 or in the 68-78 range DT870, then 78-88 DT885 and their slowest reducer for the hot days is DT895 but if its over 100 then you should add a lil DT898 which is a retarder

Thanks. I just got the instructions on it. Can you tell me if Deltron2000 dbc base is compatible with Duracryl DCA468 clear. When I was reading about them, no where did it say they were compatible. I think I just got bent over by paintscratch.com.

they are compatible. Not sure why your using a laquer clear with all the urethane's out these days but they are both PPG you should have no problems.
