[Can you help me with my Brightside Black mixture? How much should I mix it with mineral spirits?

I don't have Penetrol.





Try this site for Penetrol. You should have it available in Canada.

If there’s none close to you, I’d just follow Charger’s painting technique. On page 10, check out the smoothness and gloss Charger’s bug had even BEFORE he polished it. That's just Tremclad and MS.

After the final coats, I didn’t sand the hood or front fenders (I suck at sanding), I just hit it with polish and wax. The final finish had minimal orange peel, but so does a $40,000 Mercedes Benz, so that’s ok with me. I had variable areas of gloss/non-gloss like you. The non-gloss areas were the main ones I sanded and polished, but even then I did so hesitantly. Brightside and Pettit have amazing built-in gloss and after paying nearly a hundred bucks for those paints I was leery of sanding away half of my investment.
