[QUOTE="wateka, post: 126094, member: 21519"] I had to make more gray so this is more of a note to myself to have the formula somewhere accessible and in case someone want to replicate it. I also had to use a different Rustoleum Gloss Black so not sure if that made a difference but it took a whole lot more black this time.The last art class I took was in middle school and I’m going for protection, not perfection, so this is by no means 100% accurate, but it’ll get you in the ballpark. The Smoke Gray to Gloss Black ratio I used is 1 to 0.7061 If you’re using a measuring cup, dump a quart (32 oz) of Smoke Gray in a mixing bucket and add 22.6 oz of Gloss Black. If you’re using a kitchen scale, see the picture below - there is approximately 849 grams of paint in a quart of Rustoleum oil based enamel. [ATTACH type="full"]3636[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
