    Default I don't know crap about powder paint?


    I got some red powder and white powder. If I mix them equally, do I get pink powder? Works with house paint.

    Essentially you get pink"lol"I have experimented a lil w/ them and transparent colors may not give you what your looking for all the time,like "candy colors" (transparent) generally you can create some good effects w/ the majority of the powder colors like glow white and red depending on the amount of glo you use will actually make your pink glow"There is now a glow over coat you may buy from (Fishhunter 775) (TJ'S tackle)(Flatfish),or C.S.(component systems)Pro tech paints..."Try some different colors, and see what ya get"I have been stock piling paints for about a year now, and just started playing w/ vinyls!!!"Powder" by far is easier but colors i was not able to obtain like flo.pink ,i made up for in vinyl and im happy"need some blue candy and regular blue ,as i just started catering to the walleye species"Good luck on what ever you come up with"!:D
    grubs"

    "WELL"...YOU ASKED"NOBODY TELLS ME NOTH'N!!!

    I have done this many a time. It works very well and cures nicely. I start of with 2 parts white to 1 part red and then check the color. For different shades I add a "Smidgeon" of red at a time until the perfect pink is reached.


    The same is true if you mix the blue and flourescent yellows. You can get some nice "Lime Chartreuse."

    Powder has extremely good shelf life. You can store your samples of mixed colors in medicine bottles and write your formula for mixing it on it with file folder labels. Easier to replicate, modify, and duplicate them again.

    I mix all kinds of colors together. Its fun to get out of ordinary colors. Also mix in glitters of all colors. I use the clear sometimes just to put a little glitter on the lures. I also use some of the pigments to make colors more brilliant. I also mix pigments together then after i get them to the color I need, I will mix that with clear powder and I have the powder in the color I need.

    Sometimes you have to mix - had to make my own olive. Have a couple of other colors that I have come up with that nobody else has: Black diamond dust - holo pearl white - holo candy red..

    You can mix different manufacturer’s paint with each other as well.

    Add white to lighten your mix and black to darken.

    To Ships point: write down you mix ratio, somewhere!!!! Nice to have recipes.

    Use the back of a spoon and a pane (preferably safety) glass to mash and mix the paint and a plying card for a scoop.

    Blending colors is another aspect of creating custom lures.

    Not sure - but cadman might still have some PP that he was giving away - shoot him a PM.

    You mean there is something in this world that you don't know anything about. after reading your posts in the electronics board I had come to believe that you and Flatfish46 were the keepers of all knowledge. If it is advice on custom color powder paint combinations you seek you really need to talk to Flatfish46. There are alot of people on this site that can help you but he plays around with color like you play around with ohms/volts/resisters and other things electric. Trust me....talk to him...he speaka da language well............brim
    A man is not judged by what he has done for himself but by what he has done for others.
