For starters, that depends on the brand of paint.

If you do auto body/painting then you are familiar with the "P" sheets for the products you are using.
Do go by their recommendations as they know their products best.
It would just be a wild guess as to the temp of the thinner you need to use/humidity present @ the time you shoot, ratio of hardener as it is a 2 k product and time of flash and subsequent recoat times.
I'm sure they have a WWW unless the product is an inexpensive hwd store brand.

the SW brand I use states 8-4-1 ratio. I follow the ratio and adjust accordingly based on amount being mixed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
