Basic but important.
there are some deviations to this that the pros might use for 3 part mixes but generally this is the easiest way to mix for the common painter. Scale Model (Hobby)
hopefully this answers the questions a few modelers have messaged me about.
when in doubt - follow manufactures directions to start
and as always,additional info /corrections welcomed.

See I watched a Eastwood video and didn’t understand where they were getting their starting number, but this video made it clear it’s based off the amount you want in the cup and so it’s the number that you pick. Thanks very much

Thanks once again and I will always get in touch if there is or there other things that I will like to know.

Hi Andy, Came across your explanation of mixing cup ratios and appreciate your video. Sounds silly not to know how to read a mixing cup like this, but have always scaled out my sealer parts by weight- a 3 to 1 ratio required because... I never really understood the cups! So as little of a deal as you may think- you taught me today how to read the cups! So Thank You! Have a good day fella!

I want to thank you, that was a nice simple to understand explanation, I already knew the easy 1 to 1 ratio, but I am getting ready to spray a ceramic undercoating on the bottom of my car and it calls for a 4 to 1 ratio, and I have some PPG measuring cups but I did not understand the measuring numbers, but your instruction is very clear and I now understand, sometimes my dyslexia kicks in and I get thrown off on the measuring I was going to ask my neighbor who knows these things but I was a little embarrassed thanks again, It's to bad not every mix is a 1 to 1 ratio, like they say, "But knowing is half the battle' thanks again. now I don't have to go to Eastwoods site, they probably just would have confused me anyway.

Very well explained, easy to understand as I know what to do to mix it. You should always use the same number when you fill up no matter what the mixing ratio is, but all of them must come with same number to get good mix. For example, your primer is 4:1, look at 4:1 on the cups. Fill up the primer to 2, then fill up the hardener to 2 to make it 4:1. Same with clear coats but the mixing ratio is different 👍
