How much flex agent to use?

Ok, so gonna paint my bumper today or tomorrow, but first I need to know how much flex agent to mix with the paint. It'll be an enamel paint, no clear on top. The bumper is already on the car, but I scrape it on the pavement sometimes so I still want a flex agent in it. But the stuff I got didnt say, so.. anyone?

For the rest it was 8 color to 4 reducer to 1 hardener..

you will have to get a tech sheet for that specific paint. or call the place you bought it from and they should be able to tell you.

If you are using PPG, it is usually up to 10% of your total ounces mixed. Ex. 10 oz of color/clear is 1 oz of flex agent. You only need to put it in your clear though.
