I need help with mixing interior paint

11 years ago

My son created interior paint by using a white base and adding wood stain. The color is great but it scares me that this is really unconventional. : (

Yes. As long as he mixed oil to oil, or water to water based, he should be OK.

HI -- And why did he do that and for what purpose ?? Studio is right on the oil to oil and water to water base . Artists mess with paints and such all the time , nothing new or unconventional !

I am much relieved!! He is painting the whole house inside and the color is beautiful. I think he bought out a painting store that was going out of business. His usual line of work is refinishing decks so he has lots of stains available. I will ask about the water/oil base issue. Thanks so much for answering!!

Make sure you keep some of this paint for touch up. Mixing your own sounds like a good idea until you need more and can't reproduce it. If he remembers the recipe, make sure he writes it down. I never ever recommend that my clients do this.
