    Smoke’s top secret new color

    It’s so top secret Smoke isn’t even aware of the new color yet. It’s called Concord Grape

    Me too.
    It looks more like Hi-Tek than PC.

    It does and makes me hungry for an English muffin with Welch's Grape Jelly. BUT it doesn't taste as good as the grape juice at communion

    One of my new favorites I call "Bloody Stool". Mix clear, bacon grease, and flame red in equal parts. As they don't mix completely, you get a little of every color mixed nicely. I'll admit it ain't pretty like the concord grape above, but it coats well, but it may leave a bacon strip.....

    I've mixed the Carolina blue with the Black and got a dark purple color. Pretty cool.

    I did go 'crazy' once and ended up with something that was close of O.D.

    course it coated well and that's really the name of the game with PC

    metallic blue

    I am assuming that you both have mixed powders to achieve these colors.

    Could you both tell what colors you mixed to achieve these colors and the proportions you used?

    TYIA,

    Mixing colors is fun and surprising too...

    Sure, I “think” I mixed equal parts of Smoke’s Trafic Blue and his Magenta. I also mixed equal parts of Trafic Blue and Trafic Purple and got a similar color. You can see both colors in the coffee can.

    Just a touch of your favorite color in clear PC ( I like blue or green) and you get that metallic HyTek look Plus the great coverage you get with clear. Gp
