When you can't find lime chartreuse powder

[shipahoy41]

paint to the color that you want you can always grab an empty jar and mix 2 parts flo yellow and 1/2 part blue. Shake well and tint or adjust as needed until you get the shade you want. When you apply to hot jig and then bake in a toaster oven you will get fantastic results.

I started doing this because lime chartreuse was hard to always find in the tones I needed.

Mixing the colors was one of the first things I did when starting to powder paint. I love the different colors. Sometimes you never know what color you will get till after the jig is painted and finished. I also add ultra fine glitter to the paints. Most times i will do the glitter in a mix of clear but sometimes get an awesome blend.

You can also buy glow in the dark powder and mix it with the paint and it will allow the paint to glow. i like this for any color can become glow in the dark.
