This tinting product is characterized by saturation and a wide range of shades. To understand how to choose a color scheme for acrylic paint, one should know its composition, properties, features, advantages and disadvantages.

Inorganic or organic substances (pigments), various additives, surfactants, stabilizer and technological components are added to the basis of tinted materials.Buying a color scheme for acrylic paint, the buyer gets a quality reliable product.

Kohler for paints based on acrylic has a number of special advantages. The main ones are:

• easy application;
• quick drying;
• light resistance;
• a rich assortment of color tones;
• excellent adhesion to various surfaces (concrete, brick, wood).

Acrylic color is added in small portions to the base white paint to obtain the desired shade. The paint should be mixed very carefully. Coloring should be carried out in a single tank: if you accurately calculate the right amount of coloring matter in different tanks, you may have a composition that is different in color. After dilution of the color, a roller, an airbrush or an ordinary brush are used for applying to the surface.

It is necessary to apply such paint strictly on the cleared dry plane. Before painting, it is better to treat the surface with a special preparation solution, for example, an acrylic primer.This will allow the paint to better bond with the surface of the substrate. It is worth considering: Kohler add immediately before painting surfaces. Then the color is bright. If this rule is not fulfilled, the color is deposited on the bottom of the tank with paint, and the shade is not sufficiently juicy.

There are several types of tinted material.

• Paint (this composition must fully comply with the used paintwork material).
• Paste (suggests ease of use, allowing you to adjust shade when mixed).
• Dry composition (the most affordable, the only disadvantage is the limited color range).

To create, dilute and get the right tone for a uniform coloring of the plane, you need to take tinting paint. This type of paint is created by mixing the basic basic colors with the coloring element - color scheme.

There are 6 basic colors:

• blue;
• green;
• the black;
• red;
• yellow;
• white.

Before buying colors for acrylic paints need to familiarize yourself with some of the nuances. It is necessary to take into account the room lighting when choosing products that will be used in this room. It is necessary to buy paintwork material and color of one manufacturer. Manufacturers who produce only paint, offer products that are different in composition.

Attention should be paid to the container with the supplied material. The container should have a small neck. This feature is caused by the need to count the exact number of drops when tinting. Before buying a color scheme, you need to familiarize yourself with the shades map. So it will turn out to pick up the necessary material to receive the conceived shade.

When the remainder of the unused color on the completion of the work does not need to throw out the material. Ordinary water can be added to the container, then removed for preservation without mixing the composition. Five years, the material retains its properties. The amount of tinting material can not exceed 20%. With impaired proportionality, the characteristics of paints and varnishes are reduced.Subject to the recommendations of the paint coating will hold for a long time, while maintaining its properties.

The human factor is considered crucial for manual tinting. This method has its advantages and disadvantages.

Note the advantages and disadvantages:

• Implementation of the process directly on the site where repairs or construction take place.
• Getting an individual shade (shades consisting of several individual tones).
• Saving.

Not without flaws. With this method, it is difficult to re-obtain the desired shade. It is possible to make a mistake when selecting colors for dark tones. When tinting a special composition, this can lead to serious consequences.

The step-by-step mixing instruction consists of several steps:

• Prepare several separate plastic tanks.
• Before tinting acrylic paint, you should find the appropriate color of the desired shade.
• 100 ml of base paint is poured into one container.
• Add a few drops of one or more dyes.
• The base is mixed with color to a uniform tone.
• Having obtained the desired color, paint over a small area.

After drying, you can evaluate the resulting color of the finish coating in natural or artificial light. If the received tone satisfies the requests, the main volume is tinted. From the required amount of color should be subtracted 20%, so that the resulting shade of the coating coincides with the desired. The color will look brighter in a larger area.

Machine mixing of paintwork material is controlled by a computer, using the standard type of recipes laid down in the program. If necessary, you can re-get the same color.

To the advantages of computer tinting assign:

• accuracy and speed of the process;
• re-obtaining the desired shade;
• correct selection of paint when creating a dark shade;
• a wide range of resulting tones.

Minuses:

• the inability to carry out tinting directly on the construction site itself;
• the impossibility of creating complex shades;
• quite high cost.
