    Default paint shade


    How do you change your paint shade for a darker color to a lighter color. I like the lighter green and not sure how to get this shade with out messing every thing up. I look on site but have not seen anything on it.Name:  IMG_1544.jpg

    You can add white but it will have a slight speckle look. You can also add the darker green to some green florescent chartreuse. I mix very small batches to play with as not to mess up a lot of paint.

    Also my guess, experiment first, Florescent yellow with a touch of the other green or an even darker green if you have it. A Dark blue could also be added to the flo yellow.

    The top jig looks like bright green. The bottom jig is green chartreuse. Find green chartreuse powder to get the bottom color rather than all the mixing and guessing.

    The bottom jig looks like Granny Smith Apple Green.

    Try this lime mix http://www.crappie.com/crappie/pouri...tom-mix-3.html

    I saw a chart someone made here in these forums that gave you detailed mixing combos and drying times. Not sure where it is now.
    I think if you were to add some yellow you may get close to what you want. If you don't then start off with the basic colors, blue and yellow ad mix until you get close to the color you want. You can add some white also to make it lighter. Good luck.
