    latex paint how to color
    1, color do not need to mix water, if water is not easy to mix. It is recommended that the color be a little darker than ideal when you adjust the color. Otherwise, the color is light after the water is finished and the brush is dried.
    2, water can be directly into the original latex paint barrel. Divide the latex paint in the bucket into 2 halves and avoid sprinkling it with water. When drinking water according to latex paint barrels on the outer packaging of the construction instructions, the general water does not exceed 20 percent, more color on the wall is easy to asymmetry.
    to stir well when you're using the advice, and avoid a little bit of unpasted paste when brushing. Brush the first time when the wall dry will spend, brush the second time to achieve the desired effect. The first and second times must be at least 2-4 hours apart to brush the second lane. The second brush is slightly thinner than the first, otherwise the brush is too heavy.

    latex paint coloring techniques
    1, color adjustment need to be careful, generally try small samples, the initial number of color coatings, and then according to the results of small samples and then make large samples. First, the secondary and secondary colors are adjusted in a small container. Then add the main color first, and then slowly add the dark color with a lot of dyeing power, and constantly stir to observe the color changes at any time.
    2, when color matching, latex paint and dried film color will be slightly different. The color of various latex paints is generally lighter in wet films, and when latex paint is dry, the color deepens. Therefore, if the sample is a dry model, then the color paint needs to wait for drying before color comparison, if the sample is a wet sample, you can drop the sample in the color scheme paint, to see if the two colors are the same.
    3, the deployment of complex latex paint, to choose the same nature of latex paint mutual blending, solvent system should also be mutually soluble, otherwise due to latex paint solubility is not good, will affect the quality, and even the phenomenon of layering, dissociation or collation, can not be used.
    4, in the deployment of gray, green and other complex latex paint, due to the preparation of a variety of pigments, pigment density, oil absorption is different, it is likely to occur "floating color" "flowering" and other phenomena, at this time can be appropriate to add trace amounts of surfactants or leveling agents, anti-floating colorants to solve. As usual to add 0.1% of silicone oil to prevent and control, foreign production of a variety of surfactants, need to be clearly used in what solvent system, the amount of addition is generally 0.1% to 1%.
    5, the use of paint film slightly transparent features, the choice of suitable substrate color can make the color of the paint than the original paint color more distinct, this is according to the principle of natural light reflection absorption, the background color and the original color superimposed after the production of a color, paint engineering called "transmission."
