I bought some acid #8 and am going to spray it on. Do i need to do to add the usual reducer and hardener?

It is best reduced using isopro alcohol to sprayable consistancy. No hardener required.

I have 156 square feet of steel to cover. How much of this primer do I need as a base coat to cover that area before I apply the Raptor?

It took 1.5 cans to do the floor and internal side walls of my jeep yj

Is this primer a 2 part primer or is it ready to spray right from the can?

It is a single part primer that can be thinned as needed for spraying as follows: The product can be thinned up to 5% with alcohol, e.g. IMS/Butanol. Complete instructions are available from U-POL on the web at - http://www.u-pol.com/files/2507/up0776-SDS-EN
