If it says 16 oz to 1 gallon (because a gallon is 128 oz), then that is 1 part reducer to 8 parts paint, so however much paint you use , then use 1/8 of that amount for reducer. so if you put 24 oz of paint, then add 3 oz of reducer. for a total of 27 oz, as an example.
 
And yes it would be 4oz to a quart but your gun only holds a quart and if you put a quart of paint, you wouldn't have room for the 4oz of reducer.
 
It's best to run it through a strainer into the paint gun as well. You can pick them up at almost any parts store, even harbor freight.
 
next time you are at a paint store(body shop stuff) pick up a sleeve of disposable paint cups. they are qraduated, have ratios and volume measurements on them. heres a link to some
poke here
