Basic Powder Paint Mixing

Did a little mixing recently with some basic powder paint colors. I thought that the results of the mixes came out well. Though, I'm not sure that the camera shot agrees with me.


The two chartreuse jigs at the top have burnt orange heads. This color is formed by mixing Harbor Freight's red and yellow in a 1:1 ratio. The gray jigs in the picture have heads with a "pixelated" gray color formed by a 1:1 mix of Harbor Freight's white and matte black powder paints.

Both colors look pretty good to me at a distance. I thought that these examples might be of interest to someone wanting to get started mixing and painting with just a few colors. Harbor Freight's powder paint is relatively inexpensive and sold by the pound.

    Thank you for your compliment on the gray. Just a basic mix of these paints can create a very interesting result.
