Mga paps.. tanong ko lang kung panu magmix para maka gawa ng dark brown na latex paint.. using gloss latex at acrylic tinting color..
Re: Latex paint
If I were in your shoes I'll let the Davies/Boysen guys do the mixing for me.
They'll let you choose the color from their swatches and the computerized equipment will mix it. The amount of tinting colors is precisely measured. That means the next batch of paint you'll order will exactly be the same color and shade as the first one.
Re: Latex paint
You cannot achieved the dark brown latex color on manual mixing using gloss latex paint & acrylic tinting color.
They're using a different base and with a small amount of acrylic tinting color you can achieve a dark shade color.
You can have your paint mixed at Ace Hardware, Boysen Mix and match and Davies available sa mga Home Depot. If you need a liter/quart sa Ace or Davies ka na lang magpamix ng paint. Boysen mix and match available only in gallon or 16L pail.

Oh ok.. thanks for the info!
Re: Latex paint
Ay tanong pa pala ako
.. pwede ko bang pinturahan yung concrete wall ng enamel paint? Napinturahan na ng latex yung concrete.. pwede pp bang patungan ko nalang ng enamel yung latex?

Enamel paint is for wood and metal and not recommended for concrete wall.
We have the latex paint for concrete wall.

Technically, yes. Realistically, no.
"Latex" paint is actually acrylic with polyvinyl acetate extenders, in
the form of a watery (water-based) emulsion. There is zero latex in it.[COLOR="Blue"]*
While it may seem natural to use "latex" (acrylic) tinting colors to
modify "latex" (acrylic) paint, the common problem is that users try
to DIY too much shift in paint hue.
In other words, users often try to use too much tinting color.
Too much tint alters the properties of the paint, because the vehicle
for the tint can be quite different from the vehicle of the paint: too
much of the former and the result may not dry properly, may craze
on drying, etc. etc...
As Bryant said, let the vendor do the mixing.
Vendors have paint in stock, and can mix paint with paint, instead of
relying entirely on tinting color to get there.

Technically, yes. Realistically, no.
Modern "latex" paints for concrete often have a high PVA content,
to provide flexibility in the dried finish. Even as the concrete develops
micorfractures, the paint can flex to maintain a seal. The PVA also
allows the finish to 'breathe": allowing mositure through at a very
controlled rate, which keeps the bulk of external moisture out, but
allows any moisture that got in to escape later on, otherwise, mag
lo-lobo ang pintura dahil sa retained moisture.
Modern "Enamel" paints aren't enamel at all (they aren't heat-
hardened, as in true enamelware), but are simply hard-drying
and typically oil-based paints. Although they dry hard, they do
soften under heat, which explains their outdoor use on metal
which DOES deform under heat. Concrete doesn't heat up as
much as metal, which leaves enamel too cool/brittle to keep up
with concrete as the latter deforms: metal bends, but concrete
tends to crack, and enamel will crack along with it.
Where am I going with all ^that nosebleedy stuff?
Well, once your "latex" undercoat is dry, you could try to paint
oil-based "enamel" on top... but differences in flexibility/hardness
and permeability between the two paints will lead to problems:
the "enamel" chokes off the ability of the "latex" to breathe, and
flexibility of the "latex" will quickly compromise the hardness of
the "enamel", leading to failure.
[COLOR="Blue"]*"Latex" paints are so-named because BASF was trying to create
a latex (rubber) substitute in the 1940's, and came up with an
acqueous (waterbased) colloidal dispersion of polymers (Litex)
The colloid principle was applied to making paint, using acrylic as
the pigment/payload. Although acrylic was initially used, other
polymers like PVA have been introduced for economy and other
desirable effects.
"Enamel" paints are so-named because they tried to simulate true
enamelware finishes. They were initially, and to this day primarily
remain oil-based paints, although high-acrylic, hard drying "latex"
is sometimes marketed as 'acrylic enamel'
