Default Paint question

I have some small areas that need to be touched up on my boat that is painted and have a question on how to mix the paint. When I bought my boat, it was newly painted and they gave me some extra paint. Problem is that the can has paint spilled all over it and can't read mixing instructions. It is Valspar and I remember being told it is a single stage white. Any help with recommended mixing ratios would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Most base clear the base is 1:1. Clear is 4:1 and Single stage is 4:1 also. That's ppg. Best bet is to call a local valspar dealer and just ask

I am still pulling off the decals and not ready for paint yet. What is a good adhesive remover that is safe for paint?

you also use rubbing alcohol if not to much glue, if it'a a lot we use rite-off water based that is great, washes off with water, but $$$$..Rob
