after a while, i know what virants will work the best. i use the variant chips, and if the oem doesn’t match i find one that does. sometimes i have to use a 50/50 on some colors to get a good match. but i hate tinting with a passion. take too much time.
so when in doubt, i consult the excuse catalog. by the way when is the revise edition comeing out with the water section?[quote=”lild” post=15557]after a while, i know what virants will work the best. i use the variant chips, and if the oem doesn’t match i find one that does. sometimes i have to use a 50/50 on some colors to get a good match. but i hate tinting with a passion. take too much time.

Chapter 2, waterborne base, Page 217, line 18 reads,”…metallic flakes float differently in water than solvent…matching requires voodoo.” The footnote to that reads, “I don’t get paid enough to deal with this, so that’s the best it gets.” :clappy
And the best thing is that this edition is printed with vegetable based inks on 100% recycled paper. And if you burn it, it puts of less than 2.1 VOC
You guys are going to think i’m a sick bastard but i don’t mind tinting :stoned

When I worked at my last shop I liked tinting…but I had the time to do it and spray tons of spray out cards.
well once you get things figured out there’s not much tinting needed, but my point is “real” painters,… can and will, … i’ve seen many a wanna be, that couldn’t tint and match paint to save their life :hunt
I suppose it helps if your color blind :stoned
