Default A PPG question

I am going to repaint the bumpers on my 81 with PPG paint, here is what I have:
PPG base coat (JB base coat) mix 1 part to 1 part JR 506 Med. Reducer?
JC 630 Clearcoat and JH6370 Hardner, what is the mixture on this?

As I understand it I should apply the base coat, allow a minumim of 30 minutes then apply 2 to3 full wet coats of clear.
How long between clear coats?

Correct???????????? (and yes I have been reading threads on painting and cannot clearly answer these questions)

Thank you in advance
Don

Go to the PPG site and download the product data sheets. It has all the things you need to know. Don't paint with this stuff until you read and understand the safety protection that is required. Don't learn the hard way. Good luck.

I just used the same on mine. The clear mixes at 4:1 I believe. It was a month and a half ago. Have the tech sheets in garage still.

And Hicswa is correct, that stuff will give a hellof a buzz.

Don't start painting until you have proper safety equipment. You may not get a second chance.
