tinting pastes are used when a base material needs a selected shade without buying ready-coloured paint. This subcategory includes the universal Field Flowers paste for paints, enamels, varnishes, plasters and primers.
What tinting pastes are used for
- helping create the required shade in a finish or preparation material;
- tinting water-dispersion interior, facade and universal paints;
- use with enamels, varnishes, wood glazes, plasters, grouts and primers when allowed by the material instructions;
- choosing a colour for a specific task from a ready palette of shades;
- local repair, decorative work and repeat mixing when the proportion is recorded.
How to choose a tinting paste
- first check compatibility with the base material: paint, enamel, varnish, plaster or primer;
- then choose a colour from the available palette, considering base colour and desired saturation;
- the 120 ml pack is convenient for smaller jobs;
- for repeatable results, record the amount of paste per volume of base material;
- before full application, make a test mix and check the shade after drying.
What to check before mixing
- mix the paste before use and add it to the base material in small portions;
- after each addition, stir thoroughly until the colour is even;
- the final shade depends on base colour, paste amount, material type and drying;
- work should be done at the temperature stated for the product and with regard to site conditions;
- for large areas, prepare enough tinted material at once or repeat the same proportion accurately.
