What ratio of pigment to a clear acrylic base should be mixed for the best effect without wasting too much pigment.

It dose not work very well. I've tried mixing several different ratios and they all had displeasing results.

This is a material that can be mixed with anything that contains water. Anything acrylic you can mix with water but not solvent. Oil base paint you could mix with solvent, no water. Regards

Yes, you do have to mix the paints. No big deal at all. Equal parts of each. I use just a little bit with even amounts and mix with a toothpick. Just a small amount will last. Also, I have an eye dropper and add 1 drop of water to mix in when it starts to dry out.

I used acrylic paint and clear coat and it worked well, but make sure you wash it with degreaser and use a primer for best results

I don't think you will get the same long lasting results if you do that. Pick one of the sheer or semi sheer shades and then use this as a top coat. I usually do a single coat of "Romantique" followed by the top coat. It's a very clean look and lasts at least a week.

I recommend looking at the realmilkpaint website. Confirm this for yourself, but the starting ratio is usually 1:1.

It's 50/50 on the mixture ratio. You don't have to be that accurate, I usually put some on a wax paper, then put about the same size of the other bottle next to it then mix them together with a tooth pick or something I can throw away. BTW Isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean up the area around what you glue as long as the mixture has not setup.

I have used it with acrylic lacquer paint, I do not foresee any issue with adding a matting agent to the base paint.

as has been noted its all about the paper your using...50 grit is fast, 80 a little less so...100 is a nice happy medium...120 180 are for first pass coating prep and 220 320 for finish coating prep....paint drips will depend on oil or latex...oil is harder and latex gummier ...varnish drips very hard....so heavier more aggressive paper may be needed....I like it for trim work but have found chemicals natural or synthetic more effective for larger areas.

I think it depends on your artistic ability and skill level. The kit comes with three colors of paint (pearl mica, inca gold, and white limestone) that you blend together with a sponge. The pearl mica is a pearlescent gray, so theoretically you could use more of that and maybe the white and not so much of the gold to get the effect you're after. And there's a base coat of black primer that you can have peak through to add to it. It's meant to have a mottled look like granite though, so if you're after a more solid look than I don't think it would work for you.

you cannot mix it with any paint. you can only mix it with a clear medium. If you look on the description, it states this color is not the brightest. you need to charge it with a very bright light source or a true black light in oorder to get the best glow from it.

Actually youd be quite surprised at very few colors id go with primer first then spray with either can or air brush special effects would use a few more colors than revell calls for

You do have to mix the colors. No big deal. 50% of each color will do it. Easy.

It does work, however you will need to mix it with a clear embossing powder. It sounds like a pain, but it really isn't. You can get a large bottle of ultra thick clear powder and mix it with these pigment powders and have beautiful results. I have done it myself. I bought this set mistaking them for embossing powders. So with some experimenting, I found you can create beautiful embossing in these great colors. I purchased a set of clear screw top containers to store the mixed powders. I use tiny spoons to scoop the powders and stir. I am still experimenting, but I mix about 2 scoops of clear powder to 1 scoop of the pigment powder, stamp my image, sprinkle my mixture, add some heat and make terrific looking images. These pigments are extremely fine and powdery, so make sure the paper you stamp is static free by using a dryer sheet or one of those special stamping bags to wipe your paper before stamping. If you have used the right mix, you will not have any left over residue and will be able to dump the extra powder back in the container.

Yes the paint has to be mixed. That wasn't a problem for me. I just mixed the second color a little less than the first color and it turned out good.
