Ratio of clear powder paint to solid colors?

[AllenOK]

I got a pound of 200% clear from Rosey's last week. I haven't done anything with it yet. What kind of ratio do I need to mix if I want to stretch out and lighten up some Harbor Freight PP?

Also, if I want to do a Candy color, how much clear should I add to the solid color?

Candy colors aren't easy to create with just color and clear. Ratios are different for everyone. I'm usually between a 5-1 to 10-1 for most of my mix's.

I have been playing with clear coating then tap over with candy......turn out sweet for a different took. I double dip and use to containers. Dip clear then candy for a total candy job.
I am sure more people will give some thoughts.

It's all experimenting. Lots of mine are 7 to 10 parts to one part color.

Are you talking so the Harbour Freight flows better in the fluid bed?? If so I'd start with half and half,

Thanks, gents.

Fatman, actually, I was thinking both ways. Thanks for the info. I've got a few colors from CAT now as well as the HF powders, and the clear. I'll have to do some experiementing, since it seems that someone left the freezer door open outside......
