How do I mix the ceramic additive into my Paint?

House painting, insulating house paint additives FAQ's
Ans: Complete instructions are included with every order. The ceramics are a very fine powder and blend into paint quite easily with a simple stirring using a paint paddle. The addition of ceramics to your paint will thicken it slightly and you may have to add a little water ( up to 1 pint ) to bring the paint back to a useable consistency. We recommend thinning with our Acriflow, the latex paint reducer/enhancer that turns any paint into a "Super Paint".

Question: Can I spray paint with the ceramics in the paint?

Insulating Paint and Ceramic Paint Additive Q & A
Answer: Yes! Simply remove all filters from your spray equipment (or they will strain out the additive) and use a slightly larger spray tip than normal. Recommended tip sizes are .019 - .025. Wagner spray equipment (the "power painter" handhelds) and power rollers will not work as they do not produce enough pressure. Airless paint sprayers, from any manufacturer, that will produce at least 2500 psi and support the tip sizes listed will spray the material quite easily.

Is it better to use black paint or to mix blacks? How do you mix black?

FAQ on Color for Artists
There are times when you might want a solid black for a specific effect, but on the whole I prefer to mix blacks for livelier color. Neutral tube colors, such as Lamp Black and Ivory Black, seem very dull, especially next to high intensity hues in a painting. It's important to use the colors in the mixture throughout the picture for the sake of harmony. One mixture that makes especially rich, transparent darks and blacks is Alizarin Crimson and Phthalo or Winsor Green.

You can, however, paint with oil paint over an acrylic painting.
