you will need to add thinners. any auto store will provide you the correct type. most manufacturers will recommend a mix ratio of about 60% paint to 40% thinners, although that is a guide only. the best way to find the right mix is to use your gun and experiment on a spare panel etc. if the paint has not got pearl or mettallic in it, then it will not need a clear coat. hope this helps.

YES a ton of chemicals actually well not actually a ton but quite a few.... the right reducers.. fish eye removers.. anti orange peal additives etc etc etc.. thats why painters are painters .. its not as easy as you think.. a 5 point variance in ambient air temp an 2% humidity makes a big dif in the paint formula for auto... You do the wrong mix for the situation.. you may as well just use latex house paint and a roller.. cuz thats what its gonna look like anyway...
You dont have to clear coat though.. its not required but its not a bad Idea.. but thats usually poly urethane...

depends on if its base or single stage. base needs the right reducer and needs a clear coat. single stage just needs the right hardner and reducer.
