OK OK I know there is no way to know exactly what you are going to get when you start mixing powders, but I had an odd one the other day. I had a little bit of the wet black in my gun and decided I was going to shoot something I was working on in Black Lava. Then I had the flash of brilliance that I could mix some lava in with the black already in the gun and get an even darker black lava. Now I was just playin around so I didn't measure accurately or anything but it was about 1 part black to 2 parts black lava. So when I shot it, there is almost no difference at all. There is MUCH more black if you look at the piece in low light, but in good light it looks the exact same.
So what have you guys gotten with mixing colors? what mixes the truest? what doesn't mix at all? I assumed (wrongly obviously) that the black would dominate in my experiment. I really thought I would get a mostly black part with a hint of the red. I suppose flat colors would be easier to guess the outcomes of as opposed to goofy things like that black lava that has so many shades in it.
