May 2009 - The Paint.

Had an idea for what I wanted but had trouble defining it in numbers/samples. Finally found it House of Kandy Apple Red. Hang on. Not that simple.

Apple Red is the name of a tint. The way the colour come out is defined by the base colour under it and the number of coats of the tint and clear that go on top...
Pointed to the colour in the swatch book at teh paint shop the painter had sent me to and said "I want that." So he orders it. Great..

Painter does a test. Nothing like it. does another. Still miles away. I do some research and the paint base we have is orange where as what we should have is a black , cool ay.

I discuss it with the painter, Janine, and she does another test with more layers of Apple Red over the base orange. Hmm. Not bad. Pics aren'y exact.
