the lacquer is the most important to get right. is their any writing at all on them?
the hardener for the lacquer should be suited to HS(high solids).what sizes are the hardners as these will have different mixing ratios. lacquer usually 2:1 and primer could be anything from 3:1 to 5:1. If your not using a booth 'fast' hardener will be better.primer requires ms hardener.Ideally both will be the same brand. 1k thinners is only to wash the gun. i use a thinner specially for base coat but its not necessary.good quality 2k thinners will do all three.

Yeah there is I'll check them and get back to you. He said primer 4:1 and paint 2:1. Yeah alls the same brand. Will ordinary cellulose thinners do for washing the gun and I can change the 1k for 2k thinners

the 500ml hardener is for the lacquer.200ml is primer. your basecoat is mixed 2 part paint to 1 part thinners.both primer and lacquer should be thinned about 10%. use more thinner if you dont intend sanding your primer
