Thread: Powder paint custom mix

Hey Pepop!
Just today I received two jars of "Clear" so I can try some of these recipes.
Your photo of "Gray Stone" just blew me away and that is the first one I tried.
Sadly, mine did not turn out like yours... almost no black mottling, just a very nice "gray" - -
which I can use, don't get me wrong.
After combining the three ingredients, I made sure to shake-and-roll the jar even more than I do
a new color shipped to me.
I know that you use Rosey's colors - - is that Sky White different than Pro Tech's White?
Maybe that is the problem.
I think I will add a bit more Black to my mix and try again...

What do you think?

UPDATE -

After that previous post, something went-off in my brain . . .
I realized that your photo was VERY large, so I looked at my heads again under a magnifying glass
and guess what?
The black mottling is there, just more subtle than yours.

Yeah Afterdark, I enlarged it to show the detail. Jig in hand it's visible but not that pronounced. Glad it worked for you.

New Color for Me - - -


I call it
"Strawberry Cheesecake"

1 part Pro-Tec "Ruby Slipper"
1 part Pro-Tec "White"
1 part Pro-Tec "Clear"

Nice color of pink and I like the name

That's a great color! I'll be trying that soon.

Can I ask what is probably a dumb question to you guys but been wondering. In most of the custom mixes you folks do you add clear, does that change-enhance the colors or is it just used as a filler? Thanks.

Cray, I have wondered about that myself, and actually still wondering. The clear seems to have
a bit of a "glitter" effect to it, other than that I don't know.
