Every brand and line of paint is different. The proper ratio will be on the back of the can or you can request a data sheet from the paint store.

Yup, just read the back, should have mixing ratios. Your base will be 1:1, clear coats are usually all different either 4:1, 3:1:1 etc... So it all depends on brand really.

correct. shoot base at 1:1

 

Oh and most reds will be 2:1, 2 parts color to 1 part reducer. Reds are usually transparent. And some of the time they are tri-stage.

 

Like everyone said for base most ive heard are 1:1. For Clear they have a big range so check with the product you buy
