Color matching can be accomplished by the use
of several different techniques.
The techniques are as follows:
• gun technique, including reduction (thinner)
and air pressure
• tinting
• blending
Gun Technique
A color can be changed to be either lighter or
darker by using one of the following methods.
Lighten (drier):
• thinner/reducer (more reduction)
• higher air pressure
• greater gun distance
• Darker (wetter):
• thinner/reducer (less reduction)
• lower air pressure
• less gun distance
Tinting Technique
The tinting technique usually requires more ex-
perience than the gun technique.
Tinting is based on the primary color concept
that is described in the following illustrations.
