I am having some trouble mixing my 1k primer with thinners, the thinners stays on top of the paint and if i try to mix it just turns all gloopy! Any ideas?

I'm not a pro when it comes to paint - but

 

sounds like you have the wrong thinners for the paint you are using

As above, stick some photos up i will try help too. I'm also a painter by trade.

Don't bother with celly. 2k is much better, unless It's a DIY job at home.

[Daz1968]

If a diy job and no airfed then epoxy high build is very good, I used it on my bonnet and doors and it sands easily
But to your problem I would say as above the thinners is incorrect.

I have the paint and im not changing that, its a diy job, i have just brought cheap thinners for te primer and i have proper celly thinners for top coat but shal i just try that for the primer?

[myredmini]

Id use the same thinners for both. When you say cheap thinners, you havnt picked white spirit up by mistake have you?

[Ben_O]

If the primer is Cellulose, then a standard cellulose thinners is the correct type to use.

 

It would help if you told us what primer and thinners you have if you could?

Yup. You need 2k thinners when using epoxy not celly thinners.
