Paint Mixing Cups

Using a calibrated paint mixer cup ensures you achieve the exact manufacturer recommended mixing ratio. This is critical for the chemical performance, drying time, and final appearance of your paint. Using non specific containers can lead to inaccurate measurements, which often results in adhesion or curing issues.

To ensure accurate ratios, place your paint measuring cup on a flat and level surface. Identify the mixing ratio required by your paint manufacturer on the side of the cup. Pour your base paint up to the first mark of that specific ratio. Next, add your hardener and thinners, filling up to the corresponding marks for that ratio. Finally, stir the mixture thoroughly with a clean mixing stick until it is completely blended and consistent. Never mix on an uneven surface, as this will lead to incorrect volumes and potential paint failure.

Select a cup size based on the total volume of paint you need to prepare. It is best practice to use a cup that allows for a little extra room to ensure you can stir the paint thoroughly without splashing. We offer everything from small cups for touch up work to larger options for full vehicle refinishing.
