What happens here

Thoroughly stir the base paint color (brown Lucite paint) before opening. Pour a generous amount of this paint into a clean paint tray. Next, pour a portion of the white paint (Dutch Boy) and the Floetrol latex paint conditioner side-by-side into a separate mixing container (like a croissant box lid), but do not mix them completely yet. Keep some Floetrol separate, as it will be used to further modify custom colors for deeper effects.

Goal: Get the base paint ready and set up components for custom color mixing.

let's get this thing started [Music] make sure the lids all the way on before you shake your pain this one has a screw later so even I can't screw it up float roll this is the bonus this is really cool if you can splurge and get some get yourself some of this for your project okay love what this dogs does something that paint can't do it creates like this little this translucent almost like see-through it's really odd but it's also really cool so now in this case we've got one color and we found white ceiling paint and with that we're gonna actually get about four different colors and five layers out of it and I'm gonna show you what I mean we're gonna take I'm gonna call this the base color and we're gonna mix that with some of the way to create our second layer color and this is basically do it the way you want to do it but when you mix it up you got to mix enough of it at one batch you can do your whole thing now here's the thing I did this bottom part figure that when my wife came home and seen it she would just tell me to paint right over it and then she looked at it she's like oh yeah that looks pretty good and then like oh no because I didn't have the custom mixed color that we're going to create at our own to be able to do enough to do the whole thing so now I gotta try to match the color that I literally concocted and hope it blends that's why it's important right out of the gate that your custom color that you're creating on your own you have enough of it to do the whole project in one fell swoop or you're gonna be like what I'm doing and hoping it works I haven't even started and I'm dirty already now this stage I'd like to tour the white paint and then next to it the floral and then let the white and the float roll begin to mix I don't mix the whole things together I keep some floral fresh and I just mixed the middle so you can see right where those two go together I'll mix that gooey middle layer you see how we're starting to get them those colors to swirl swirl swirl swirl I want enough white left untouched on this side and definitely enough float role left untouched on that side next we got to mix up our custom color that's our third gooey color in the middle doesn't get mixed directly with your main color your white your float role or your float role jig mess in the middle so you got to keep it separate a separate container but in this case our Crescent box happen to have two lids so we're gonna use that side to make our own color still…
