I have a major mini painting habit, my wife has a major nail art habit. Think we'll be joining forces on this one :)

Really love this! Always like the idea of finding ways to make you own especially if you are in a budget!

Very helpful video. I've been searching for a specific red-purple metallic paint recently with no luck, but I am now definitely going to experiment with some pigments.

First i love you video crafting your own paints ! 2 things though ... You need to write the recipe in the description and also try your paints in airbrush to see if this do not clog it !

[@MTGBella]

Thanks, I’ll try that in the future 👍

3 parts mica powder, 2 parts medium and a few drops flow aid improver @ 2:28 in the video! most mica powders will pass through an airbrush, depending on size your using usually 0.5mm is fine! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKuqi31_odqCabc You can mix very small amounts and a lot less than the above recipe if airbrushing.

How to make metalic paint at home???? Is it applicable for wooden furnitures and window grills and Gate????

[@crazyracoon9402]

What if you already have a color but you want to make is more metallic looking would you then add pink metallic pigment to the paint or make your own pink paint

[@MTGBella]

Liquitex actually have an iridescent medium, so if you already have a non metallic colour, you could add that. Or you could try adding a pearlescent powder.

DIY is NOT going and buying something. Waste of time.

[@MTGBella]

Good luck ‘doing it yourself’ not using any materials that you bought 👍 😂
