I was thinking of adding it to a shade of blue if it would work.
Also has anyone had home depot mix rustoleum paint to your desired color?
Thanks for any help



Nah... don't think so. If you read the ebay ad, it mentions that you put this stuff in with 'clear coat'... and that makes sense.

If you put that stuff in with Tremclad or Brightside, our paints would totally envelope those color pigments and you wouldn't even know they were there or mixed in with the paint.

To try to explain this at the simplest level... imagine you put a cup of white rice in with black paint or red paint etc. You wouldn't see the white of the rice... because the paint would completely cover it up.

But if you poured a cup of rice in to a clear coating... well you would be able to see every detail of those rice and their color.

That stuff might be handy at the end of a 'roll your own' paint job. Do up your car to completion in the color that you wish... and at the final stage spray on a clear coat with that stuff mixed in ( or have that spray job done by a pro paint shop ).
