bug11 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I need some help mixing lite green pumpkin. I'm using Pro-Tec Powder Paint. Does anybody have the color ratio for lite green pumpkin? I've tried to match other colors and the closes I can see would be Watermelon. Regular Green Pumpkin is to dark, it just doesn't look good on the jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Why not just buy the watermelon color powder paint from Pro-Tec? Edited February 16, 2010 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug11 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Watermelon might be the best choose but I need alittle more brown than green. I've tried pumpkin brown, black and green pumpkin. None of these colors look right. The color I'm trying to match is molting craw. It's a blue gill color. Lite green pumpkin and saphire blue. You can find this color at fishingskirts.com. Take a look and tell me what you think. url="http://fishingskirts.com/product_info.php?cPath=73&products_id=428"]My link[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 So you're trying to match the green in that skirt not the blue correct. What I would do if it were me is get green pumpkin powder and then some brown powder. Take a level tablespoon of green pumpkin, empty it in a small jar, then take level 1/8 teaspoons full of brown one at a time, and add it to the green pumpkin. Paint a jig to see if it's the color you want. If not add another 1/8 and so on and so on until you get your color. This is very tedious, but there is no other way to do this unless you have a custom powder made. Just remember to writ down your ratios so you can duplicate it next time.

ifish2 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 When mixing powder paint use white to lighten colors & black to darken them. Add some red to turn the green more brown. Hope this helps! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
