misterryno Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hey all...I have recently purchased 2 different spray paints in order to try to get the right color I want. One of the cans is a Krylon Fusion Ultra-Flat Black and the other a Krylon Smoke Gray. I just would like to get a gray that is not super dark. Can someone inform me on how I would go about doing so? THANKS. Quote
MechTech Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Look for the Krylon Cammo paint colors (like for ATV's and other projects). Same price and they sell a light and medium grey color. Dead flat too! perfect stuff for models. Would stick well with slight surface prep on ABS. - MT Quote

That is why I got the other gray. Is there a way to mix the 2 I have to make the right shade. Like black and then gray or gray and then black??? Quote
MechTech Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 You can't really mix them because they'll just overlap each other. But if the vendor in your area carries the cammo line, see if you can order what you want. I think you got the Fusion stuff; there is a regular line too; here's color splotches: http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/non...mouflage_paint/ Hope that helps. I've got a few cans and love it. Plus the newer cans have a fine automotive spray valve on them for a smoother finish (no, I don't own stocks in Krylon - but I should! ). - MT Quote

Eh....no worries.....I will find a use for the grey. THANKS for your help. Quote
