To use a mixing cup ratio, you first need to understand the ratio marked on the cup. For example, a 4:1:1 ratio means you need four parts of paint, one part of hardener, and one part of reducer. Pour each component up to the corresponding line in the cup, ensuring you maintain the correct ratio. You will see multiple graduations for each mixing ratio starting with 1-1-1-1 and working up to 5-5-5-5. These graduations are used to mix different amounts under each mixing ratio. You can mix a partial cup using the 1-1-1-1 graduations or fill the entire cup using the 5-5-5-5 graduations. It is important to choose a graduation number and stick to that as you pour in each of your component liquids including coating, hardener, and reducer.
