Turquoise mix in paint mix's

[Fatman]

In the paint sticky Rad has a list showing rough mix's on some colors. I tried the Turquoise and while it looks great in the cup it sure don't look good on the jig - just looks like green.

I used the Blue from Jann's and Baby Bass Green from CS paints and I also added some clear as a filler.

I also did a few brush taps with it.

If somones got a really good mix, post it up.

Well what was your ratio of blue to green??? Yellow should lighten it up for ya if its not too late!

Ain't what ya wanted but that green could be useful . Slap some red chenille and a yellow tail on them . Bet a quarter you catch fish.

Heres the mix:

with the 1/4tsp scoop - 2 1/2 scoops blue
with the 1/8tsp scoop - 3/4 scoop of Baby bass green
2 tsp - clear as a filler

Like I said it looks great in the cup but doesn't come out that way

For plastics I start with blue and lightly add yellow for turquoise. Haven't tried with powder paint but should work.

X2 on that Ron got to sneak up on it . Can't take out what you put in or back what you file off . Case in point the other day I was adding black to some plastic . Must have had some kind of buger in the applicator nozzle . I could'nt get drops out before I thought I honked down on the bottle . the tip cleared and enough blk went into a quarter cup to do a gallon . ARRRRG! Now I'll have to use that to color other stuff .

Yeah Toad I learned the hard way the first time I tried to make a mix - used WAY to much and have WAY to much of the messed up ones. Have tried mixing up some different stuff with them but haven't come up with anything good yet.

Ron - since I have the bit mixed should I shoot for adding yellow to that or start from scratch. Course I can't really screw up what I already screwed up LOL!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help - I'll see what happens!!!!!!!!!!

I'd use some of what u have... Say a scoop of it. Then add just a tad of yellow at a time. Hopefully it will blend and not speckle!

That is a dark green but those two pony heads on the bottom with a yellow/green are killers!!!!

 

[Fatman]

Well I tried all the tips you guys listed and just kept getting different shades of green!!!!! But that's okay. I'm thinking my shades of blue and green are too dark!!
