mixing powder paint????

[waterweasle]

can I mix colors to make other colors of powder paint, I have a bunch of blue and yellow, would like to make green, will it work???

All I can say is that's gonna be an experiment. Try a little of each in a spoon or sumpthing and dip away. Good luck. I just mixed a couple of types to make a better chartreuse with glitter.

Yes, it will work but you have to experiment to see how much of each it takes to get the desired color. Another trick I learned by accident is if you use white powder and paint a flourescent color over it, it will turn to the regular color of the flourescent... an example of this is if you paint the flourescent blue over white you will come up with regular blue.

Yes you can mix colors. In fact, if you look at the ProTek watermelon color its just a mix of brown and green. You need to figure out the ratios.

Do a search for food coloring. You should be able to find recipies and this will give ratios so you won't have to waste too much powder.

waterweasle, as said before yes.

The food coloring search is a good tip.

It is still experimenting but once you figure the ratios just document it.

Another tip: When you think you are close on the color run the whole mixture through an old time flour sifter about three times.This will reeally mix it up well and fluff it as well.

There are a few colors that will tend to seperate on you when you heat the paint at the time of coating.But that again is just trial and error.

Example:

To make a killer green pumkin.

1 part protec watermelon

1/2 part protec black

1/3 part protec chartruese

The chartruese is what gives it that puky green look
