[Emulsion paint color mixing skills]
1, color mixing needs to be careful, generally try a small sample first, the initial number of color matching paint, and then according to the results of the small sample and then formulate a large sample. First, mix the secondary color and secondary color in a small container. Then add the main color first, and then add the dark color with high dyeing power slowly and intermittently, and keep stirring, and observe the color change at any time.
2, in the color matching, latex paint and dry coating film color will exist subtle differences. The color of various latex paints is generally lighter when the wet film, and the color deepens when the latex paint is dried. Therefore, if the sample is a dry sample, the color matching paint needs to wait for drying before color measurement and comparison; if the sample is a wet sample, you can put a drop of the sample in the color matching paint and observe whether the two colors are the same.
