Mixing Custom Paint Colors Video

August 1, 2016 By Reeves @ The Weathered Door 2 Comments

Whether you have small amounts of leftover paint or want to create a custom color, mixing paint on your own is a fun way to get creative with color. I love experimenting with color when working on a new piece of furniture. Using the paint I already have on hand I’ll custom mix a color instead of purchasing new paint. It’s also a great way to save a little money.

Mixing Custom Paint Colors - Teal Green

Some of my favorite custom colors I have used are on this Stacked Hepplewhite Dresser and this Grey on Grey Cabinet.

For my most recent project, this little teal side table, I made a color with General Finishes acrylic milk paint. The colors in it are Emerald, Coastal Blue, Lamp Black, and Queenstown Gray.

I’m not big on actually measuring out the paint colors. I just start with a few main colors, and then add others and keep mixing as I go to see where the color is at.

    I just want to stop in to thank you for all the wonderful tips you give. It’s helped tremendously through the renovation of my condo. I refinished my kitchen cabinets and they look professionally painted, and I’ve finally conquered the clean paint line with a bit of polyurethane. I couldn’t get a crisp paint line between my baseboards/wall and wall/cabinets with frog paint alone. I must the the only one.
