I'd like to do a thin homogeneous grey tint lam and not a grey opaque lam. I have black and white opaque pigments. But I've got a serious handicap, I am artistically stupid. So I'm looking for some good advice that a moron like myself can follow and achieve reasonable results. Can I [should I] use the B&W opaques to make a tint? Can this be done? Is there grey tint available?
Thanks in advance for helping the artistically dense. Talk to your accountant first, but I believe you can take this off your taxes in some manner.
Grey tints show up EVERY little scratch and nick in your shape. One of the most difficult colors to deal with. My hat is off to the laminators that can do this one perfect. Looks really cool when right so easy to get wrong.
You can also just mix slowly very small amounts of the black you already have into the resin you are going to use till you get the shade of grey you are looking for. note that it will look black in the bucket but if you test it on foam you will be able to see the actual finished shade. Good Luck.
Hope you have a perfectly finished shape job or plan on every little dibit and scratch showing the disparity in color…foresight vs hindsight…go into this knowingly.
I got a one on my blog I did a while back I wasn’t to stocked on it. Purp and grey tint. The smoke tint sucks I would just use a small amount of black.
Dang, perfect foam required. I'll have to see how things work out with the shape. Maybe I'll just leave it clear and call myself a hero :) Otherwise maybe do some other easy-for-a-spaz-like-me tint to deal with.
