I done my 50/50 and i put it on too dry. :cry:
BUT the side effects of it looking shit, is that it now looks like a 32 year old faded paint job.:surprised:

When I paint in Acrylic I usually mix 1 part paint to 1.5 parts thinners and the last 2 coats at 1 part paint to 2 parts thinners..... nice glossy final coat

The ute is looking good.....
