Default noob basecoat question...

ok. i have a quart of some PPG Delstar line basecoat of a color i aquired. now what i wondering is there anywhere i can aquire the p pages ? or the mixing ratio for the basecoat ? does it need a catlyst and if so what catlyst does it need ? i dont work at a shop and im having a tough time resourcing this information.

side note--> i thought they would be on the can itself, on the label, but they arent. i know they are on the Omni im useing as well, but i just found it weird it wasnt.
maybe im just a noob though

Call the PPG tech line 1-800-647-6050 or your nearest retailer. Either should be able to provide them.

for the base coat all you should be doing is mixing reducer (rapid, medium, or slow) in it its usually a 2:1 or 1:1 mix...depends on what your trying to accomplish

i know this. i was wondering if anyone knew or worked @ a shop where they could get me the p pages so i can get the injformation on the product. im just going to have to take a day off of school, and go to a paint store and ask a rep there to look it up for me.

thanks everyone though
