paint job gone bad and need help

Not really sure what a "chemist" will tell you that a good painter doesn't already know. You can't tell what a product is or isn't just by the mix ratio[-X Starting with the spec sheet recommendations are a good start but anyone with lots of paint experience knows that those are a starting point and are usually made just to comply with VOC regulations. A good painter will tweak those ratios to get the best finish out of the paint system. And personally if you are relying on google for information about paint systems you are sure to find vast amounts of the same misinformation usually given by people who don't know crap about paint work.
