But I didn't see in your write up which ratio you used for those shots..unless I missed it..

Also, Behr brand paint is not available in Australia..Is there an Oz.equivalent that you can suggest, if you know of any?
I was using a ratio of (3:1) LB:YO in a 50:50 mix of Glidden Gripper Primer and Behr UPW. If you are using a white base that is not high in Titanium Oxide then I would use the (3:1) ratio of LB:YO. That leaves you with the following possible tints:

Quart Custom Tints

0 1 1 Lamp Black
0 0 1 Yellow Oxide

0 3 0 Lamp Black
0 1 0 Yellow Oxide

0 4 1 Lamp Black
0 1 1 Yellow Oxide

0 6 0 Lamp Black
0 2 0 Yellow Oxide

I would recommend you keep it light if you liked the white screen. Probably the 3LB + 1YO would suite you.

I think the Glidden paints are sold in Aus under the name DULUX. If the base is a pur white with a lot of Titanium Oxide then use a (2:1) LB:YO ratio.
