Great news. thanks guys. So I just mix until it looks right. That's what I figured. If you mix 6oz at a time and want say a Mary Kay or Butterscoth are we talking drops or teaspoons (of color) to start with? And I guess I'll ask the same about an opaque finish. Do you just get the color you want and then thin it way out if you want transpararent? and thicker if opaque?
So I start with lacquer and tint, get the shade I want and then thin it if needed. Sound right? Is 4:1 really thin? Do you ever go thinner? I realize it's probably a line you find wiht your own methods and equipment. I'm just looking for a crash course on where to start.
One last thing; is there some sort of mixing chart to show what color tints make what colors? I was never good at a color wheel. I even worked in a print shop and had to have someone tell me what to add to get the right color. I could never say "oh, it needs more orange" or brown or yellow to get the right shade.
This has all been very helpful. Keep the tips coming!
