EPOXY RATIOS
| Epoxy | 2 grams per 8 ounces |
The most common question that we receive is "How much pigment per gallon of epoxy?". This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations. This is why we recommend the 2 grams per 8 oz and add as desired.
For example:
- Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look?
- Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color.
Why micron sizes matter:
- PLEASE be aware of the micron sizes of the pigment. The larger the micron, the larger the particle.
- Typical pigments average 10-60um.
- Be aware that larger micron sized pigments will most likely have a heavier density which will cause the pigment to sink faster in fresh epoxy such as deep pours.
- For example, our Icicle or 14k Nugget Gold is 200-700um and will most likely sink in fresh epoxy faster.
- To alleviate sinking either let the epoxy settle up a little bit. Or, come back through your project to "stir" it a little more.
SOAPS RATIOS
| Soap - Cold process | 2 tsp per lb of oils |

AUTOMOTIVE / REMOVABLE PAINT RATIOS
| Peelable Automotive Coatings (Plasti Dip, HaloEFX, P1Coatings, Pro Line, Autoflex, Etc.) | 50 Grams Per Gallon |

| Appliance Paint And Coatings | 25 Grams Per Quart |
| Architectural Coatings (Interior And Exterior) | 10-20% By Weight |
| Wall Paper And Other Architectural Paper Coatings | 1-5% By Weight |
Peelable Coatings:
- The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
- Be aware of the micron size. The larger the particle you may have to go to a larger tip.
- The pigments can be mixed with the base color or mixed into the clear and sprayed over the base color.
- The base color may impact the overall color of the pigment.
- Light colored pigments yellows, pinks, etc., we recommend using a white base or a like colored base.
- Dark colored pigments, we recommend using a black or dark colored base
Automotive Paint:
- The majority of our pigments can and have been used for automotive.
- The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
- Three ways to use our pigments for spraying:
- Mix directly into the base color to create a unique blend
- Mix and spray with your mid clear over the base color
- Mix and spray with your top coat. Typically we do not recommend this due to the possibilities of striping. Also, we use the top coat as a UV protector or possible sanding of the top coat, etc.

CALCULATIONS FOR MIXING OF OUR PIGMENTS
This is the most frequently question asked and rightfully so!! Unfortunately there's no standard calculation when mixing pigments due to the numerous applications, and mediums that our pigments can be used with. I.E. Automotive, Epoxy, Resin, Slime, Candles, Soaps, Fishing Lures, Woodworking, Pen Blanks, Acrylic, Varnish, Clay, Grout, Flooring, Countertops, Cosmetics, Fingernail Polish, etc. the list goes on.
Other factors are based on the customer. What is the desired look that you're trying to achieve, opaque or transparency?
Our standard for epoxy resin or automotive has been (1) container of our 50 gram pigment powder for every gallon. But, we have seen customers use MUCH less!!
Starting out with 1g of pigment per 8 oz would be a safe start while adding more pigment as needed to achieve your desired outcome.

MIXING TIPS FOR NEONS
Are you having a difficult time mixing the pigments or just find yourself stirring and stirring? Or even worse, finding tiny specs in your finished product? This is mostly the cause of not mixing and breaking down the pigment enough.
Due to the granular nature of specialty pigments such as neons, glow in the dark, etc. these pigments are typically a little more difficult mix and breakdown.
If this is the case, place the pigments in a small cup, use denatured alcohol and wet the pigments, stir until it has a consistency of a paste. Stir until they break down.
We also have a very short video showing the process HERE

MORE INFORMATION ON OUR COLORSHIFT PIGMENTS
Unfortunately there's no standard calculation when mixing pigments due to the numerous applications, and mediums that our pigments can be used with. I.E. Automotive, Epoxy, Resin, Slime, Candles, Soaps, Fishing Lures, Woodworking, Pen Blanks, Acrylic, Varnish, Clay, Grout, Flooring, Countertops, Cosmetics, Fingernail Polish, etc. the list goes on.
Colorshift pigments have the best results when there's a black base applied.
- For automotive, for best results, first spray a black base and follow with the colorshift over top. Recommend mixing the colorshift with your mid-clear but some choose to mix with their top coat.
- Molds, we are noticing that numerous artists is either putting a black in the mold first and then the colorshift or they are applying the colorshifts with a brush on method.
Other factors are based on the customer. What is the desired look that you're trying to achieve, opaque or transparency?
Our standard for epoxy resin or automotive has been (1) container of our 25 gram pigment powder for every gallon. But, we have seen customers use MUCH less!!
Starting out with 1g of pigment per 8 oz would be a safe start while adding more pigment as needed to achieve your desired outcome.
This mica mineral powder is ideal for DIY craft use, such as plastics, slime making, homemade bath bombs and jewelry, melt & pour, lip balm, acrylic painting, screen printing, candle making, and more.

EPOXY RATIOS
| Epoxy | 2 grams per 8 ounces |
The most common question that we receive is "How much pigment per gallon of epoxy?". This is a very valid question and unfortunately there is no set answer due to the numerous types of applications and variations. This is why we recommend the 2 grams per 8 oz and add as desired.
For example:
- Are you looking for an opaque or transparent look?
- Lighter colors may take more pigment to achieve the color.
Why micron sizes matter:
- PLEASE be aware of the micron sizes of the pigment. The larger the micron, the larger the particle.
- Typical pigments average 10-60um.
- Be aware that larger micron sized pigments will most likely have a heavier density which will cause the pigment to sink faster in fresh epoxy such as deep pours.
- For example, our Icicle or 14k Nugget Gold is 200-700um and will most likely sink in fresh epoxy faster.
- To alleviate sinking either let the epoxy settle up a little bit. Or, come back through your project to "stir" it a little more.
SOAPS RATIOS

| Soap - Hot process | ½ tsp lb of MP base |
AUTOMOTIVE / REMOVABLE PAINT RATIOS

| Appliance Paint And Coatings | 25 Grams Per Quart |
| Architectural Coatings (Interior And Exterior) | 10-20% By Weight |
| Wall Paper And Other Architectural Paper Coatings | 1-5% By Weight |
IMPORTANT! - If you are spraying this pigment, we recommend spraying it over a white base BUT can be lightly sprayed over other colors for a slight hue of the ghost color. ALWAYS TEST BEFORE FULL APPLICATION!
Peelable Coatings:
- The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
- Be aware of the micron size. The larger the particle you may have to go to a larger tip.
- The pigments can be mixed with the base color or mixed into the clear and sprayed over the base color.
- The base color may impact the overall color of the pigment.
- Light colored pigments yellows, pinks, etc., we recommend using a white base or a like colored base.
- Dark colored pigments, we recommend using a black or dark colored base
Automotive Paint:
- The majority of our pigments can and have been used for automotive.
- The majority of our pigments can be sprayed through a 1.2 tip
- Three ways to use our pigments for spraying:
- Mix directly into the base color to create a unique blend
- Mix and spray with your mid clear over the base color
- Mix and spray with your top coat. Typically we do not recommend this due to the possibilities of striping. Also, we use the top coat as a UV protector or possible sanding of the top coat, etc.

MIXING TIPS FOR NEONS
Are you having a difficult time mixing the pigments or just find yourself stirring and stirring? Or even worse, finding tiny specs in your finished product? This is mostly the cause of not mixing and breaking down the pigment enough.
Due to the granular nature of specialty pigments such as neons, glow in the dark, etc. these pigments are typically a little more difficult mix and breakdown.
If this is the case, place the pigments in a small cup, use denatured alcohol and wet the pigments, stir until it has a consistency of a paste. Stir until they break down.
We also have a very short video showing the process HERE
