So I have a gallon of spi white. Wanted it close to Olympic white. So as per Barry's advice Had some ppg DBC tints mixed for a gallon formula. They just put the tints in a pint can for me to mix as they would not add them to the SPI base. So then tints came to 9oz. So I pulled 9oz of white out of the SPI base. Mixed it up ... Comes out as almost a pastel green. Definitly has a green hugh to it against anything white... Not the grayish white of normal I think. Even the tints just by themselves mixed have a green color to them... I asked Barry and he thinks they messed up the tints and that could very well be.. I have a couple of pics to show what is up.
I have some old DBC olympic white from the past that I used to compare. No matter how you look at it ,the SPI has some green in it.. Has that happened to others ?? or does the color have a green tint to it? Olympic seems more gray, which is what I'm going for and adding white to the current mixture seems to just make it a more lighter green, not gray. Any thoughts on how to fix this or what went wrong, because I have another gallon of SPI white wanting to tint to the Olympic, but need to keep track of tints in case I need some more for the future.. Sure could use some opinions on how to fix this , but keep in mind I'm not a paint tinter ... The last pic is the DBC can. The fist dot is the SPI I mixed , the second next to it is the DBC that I pulled out of the can just for reference.. In person it really looks green.
