    Start by mixing the two colors together 4:1, the 3:1, then2:1, then 1:1, then 1:2, then 1:3, then 1:4.

    Make sure the reducer is slow enough, or just blow a coat of clear over the repair.

    Sounds more complicated than it is.

    It can also be done with good gun/trigger control depending on your skills with the gun.
