Another interesting thread cem - will look forward to seeing the final result. 8) :y

thanks Den :y
 
today prepared the final color and applied on test card.. paint is prepaed as 1 kg..
0.5 kg  directional white (shows diffent color from different angles depending on the mixture),
0.5 kg pearl white,
1 gr of blue  >:(  / I did say 0.5 gr to the shop but the bloody idiot added 1 gr.. and mixture became more bluish.. :(
 
tomorrow or weekend will take half of it and add another 250 gr 250gr  from whites..
 
then probably try another 0.5 gr silver for the tone..am I crazy .. yes ;D
 
besides another 0.5 kg pure white base coat is also prepared, as the final color is some kind of transparent..
 
still not decided on the final color.. :-\



Better than brand new when finished, Cem. Well worth the effort.... :y
