To calculate the Paint Ratio:
\[ PR : 1 = \frac{PB}{PT} \]
Where:
A paint ratio is a measure of how much paint base there is relative to how much thinner there is within a paint mixture. These ratios are often expressed as parts base per 1 part thinner. Sometimes, the paint ratio includes hardener and the ratio is a 3 parts ratio i.e 4:2:1.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PR : 1 = \frac{4}{1} = 4 : 1 \]
The Paint Ratio is 4 : 1.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PR : 1 = \frac{8}{2} = 4 : 1 \]
The Paint Ratio is 4 : 1.
