Re: Prof.'s DIY screen


I finally have my 4 Litres of Dulux Vivid White..and test panels are underway..

Note to Aussie users...Dulux don't label it as "Vivid White" anymore..just "White"..
I checked with Dulux, and it's still the same mix as previously...They just can't use the name..Vivid White..

At the moment, the second coat has just been applied to three panels..

The first panel is just the Dulux White..This will be used as a reference panel..
The second panel is a 4:2:1 mix of White/Silver/Matt Acrylic..
The third panel is the same as the second, only 10% of Gold has been added..

Panel 2 has really surprised me..Even though it's a 2:1 mix, of white and silver, it looks to be just slightly darker than the reference panel...and still looks more a white panel than a grey one..
Harp, I think this would look very similar to yours..

Panel 3 is something else!!..I can't say that it looks white or grey..It almost has a pearlescent look to it, but with out any sheen..Should be interesting to see the results..

When the panels have cured, I'll take some pics. on the colour band pattern..
