Mixol Universal Tints, Green, 8, 200ml

I bought a gallon of "ember glow" (warm orange-ish) paint that ended up being way to bright on my walls, so I used about 1/3 of a bottle of black tint and it turned my mistake into a beautiful earthy terracotta. It was really easy to stir it into the paint and it mixed quickly. I started slowly, gradually adding 10 or drops at a time until I was happy with the color. So happy I tried this out before spending $$$ on a new gallon of paint, plus I have plenty left over to correct my inevitable future bad paint choices.

I purchased these tints so that I could either adjust a color of wood stain or glaze for either woodworking with oil and water based products or for faux finishing on my walls. These are the most versatile tinting mediums because they can be mixed with either water based products or oil based ones. I like them for faux finishing on my walls since I like to mix my colors from scratch, but I also use them for adjusting a color or value of a premixed glaze or paint. I recently used them for wood finishing and found the tints great when I mixed them with an oil based stain to do the woodworking in my new home since many of the 25 doors and door frames were unfinished. I purchased a wood gel stain called Java from General Finishes and I mixed it with the color "black" from my Mixol tint set. It turned into a beautiful ebony color and I'm thrilled with the results. I even had to mix the colors in batches since I had to use several cans of stain, and the results looked perfect. I started with trying to calculate a ratio, but I realized that all I had to do was to compare the colors between one batch and another. I did the comparison on a white background so that I could see the true value. Q-tips on white paper are great for this job.The Mixol tints are considered to be the best in the world. They are made by a company in Germany so all the color names are written in German. They have a chart with English translations but I find I don't even use them since I use color recognition mostly when I tint colors. There are also a number of oxide colors which are so great to use since they use tones that are inherent to earth colors. I like doing Tuscan colors and these tints are perfect when you want to get a warm glow like "yellow ochre." I went to many classes years ago for faux finishing and my instructor used Mixol tints exclusively, mixing all her glazes from scratch. I never forgot that lesson and still practice those time worn lessons of success. You can find endless videos to learn how to begin.You cannot use these tints as stand-alone color mediums since they contain only pigment and no binders, but that is the beauty of them. There are other products like those made by "Golden" which sell the binders alone so that you can control the thickness, translucency, texture, sheen and open times of your paint or glaze. These are described as the most potent tints in the world so a little goes a long way, and they never dry out.If you are somewhat adventurous or creative, you will really enjoy using these tints. You can tint just about anything used in construction although it is almost unnecessary since there are already many premixed colors like grout, cement, etc. However, it is far more cost effective to mix your own. It is much cheaper to purchase a can of translucent glaze or wood stain which are void of color. I especially like to mix small batches when I want some randomness to my wall or wood piece (and I don't just use wood tone colors for my furniture!) I never paint a wall anymore using one color. My first coat is considered my base coat which I put on with a roller over the entire wall surface. After that I begin to layer color on using either a faux finishing brush, sponge, rag, etc. and may have on average, four different colors in varying intensity. This kind of faux finishing is what adds depth to a design and why our eyes find beauty in a painted work of art on canvas. When you look at a wall that is painted without a pattern, your eyes will always enjoy looking at that finished wall. Depending on your color choices, you can create a very restful or exhilarating space. Wallpaper companies get big bucks by selling you designs which mimic a faux finish. However, they cannot create a random pattern, and I find it unappealing to notice the short repeats.I am not a born artist. I just like color and enjoy working with my hands. So you don't need to be an expert to achieve pleasing results. Practice does make success though!

Exactly what I ordered and almost made the color change that I expected. I would have liked to have known that I needed a larger bottle to get the exact color intensity that I desired. It is concentrated, but not so much that a few drops (or even this whole bottle) was adequate to tint about 16 oz of paint. I had to order more but then was happy with the results.

Years ago, before custom paint mixing, these tints were sold in hardware stores and you custom mixed your own paint; t was just part of painting prep...now it's almost impossible to find paint tint...this was he best I could find and mixing is an art that requires much trial and error, so buy twice what you think you may need.

Mixol Universal Tint worked out great for my project. I was painting a project metallic gold and needed to prime it before painting. I used the Mixol Universal Tint in Oxide Yellow #5 to tint the primer for the project. This worked out great. It's the first time I've tinted primer to a color close to the shade I would be completing the project with. I can tell you the project went so fast this way. The Oxide Yellow tinted the primer close enough to the gold color top coat that the paint went on fast and the project turned out beautiful. I'll use Mixol Universal Tint from in the future for all my projects. With this particular project I used a quart of primer to one bottle of Mixol. The primer turned out a light yellow gold. If you are doing a large project you'll need more then one bottle. The one quart to one bottle ration worked out great for my project.

Use this to tint epoxy. Works realy well with only about 4-5 drops per cup, and you get a really dark color. You can use a little less, and have it still a little transparent. Am sure it has a lot of other uses, but that is all I have used it for.

The pigment was easy to measure out drop-by-drop. It's not too strong of a black pigment, which is good as it allows you to adjust the color in small increments. The only thing I could say against this product is that the black pigment particles are not as finely divided as I would like. After mixing this vigorously with white base paint, for example, I can make out discrete black specks if I look very closely from close-up. This of course isn't a problem for most applications, but may be an issue for small items which may be viewed up close.

I used 20 ml of #28 True Pink in about 2 gallons of white semi gloss interior paint for my 4 year old granddaughters bedroom and the color came out a perfect pink that is not over powering it is a very warm, calm, true pink. What I like about Mixol Universal Tints is that the color intensity is easily adjustable by using more or less, so start with less than you think you need and ad more as needed.

Bought this to use in my resin and it actually laces amazingly! Plus it’s super cheap and easily available in the UK!

Thank You

It was good. I used it for dying resin. It worked really well.

Ordered the blue and black and they were exactly what I was looking for. Helps to get the right shade you want and a little goes a long way. Excellent product, recommended.

Das Abtönkonzentrat habe ich für meinen PUR-Spachtel zur Holzverarbeitung angeschafft. Da ich häufig Holzteile ausbessere und dann auch nach streiche, war es wichtig, dem PUR-Spachtel auch eine Tönung beizugeben. Wird vom Hersteller des Spachtels auch als Vorschlag genannt.Und das Konzentrat ist exzellent. Da relativ kleine Mengen PUR-Spachtel verarbeitet werden, ist auch die Menge des Konzentrats zur Einfärbung extrem gering. Ein kontaminierter Nagel reicht aus, um dem 2-Komponenten-Spachtel eine leichte Tönung zu verpassen.Fazit:Sehr gutes Produkt, das ich für PUR-Spachtel verwende. 5 Sterne

Habe damit Fliesenlack und Holz-Renivierlack abgetönt. Ergibt ein schönes warmes grau.Gut und laaange umrühren! Farbe wird nach Trocknung etwas heller.

Works as should. Use it for tinting epoxy, CA glues etc

Works great with epoxy for tables and other projects.

Farbton gefällt mir persönlich nicht

Alles Top

Hat‘s gut geklappt. Danke!

Sehr gut und für alle Fälle anwendbar.
