Spray Paint Shortage & Cold Weather make it very difficult for us tumbler makers to use spray paint! GOOD NEWS though! I have mixed up paints that match some of my favorite spray paints!

They’re not the EXACT same color, but honestly, REALLY DANG CLOSE!

Now I have no doubt this shortage will eventually work itself out but there are several reasons I like using my Universal White and Pigments to mix up my own paints:

1) You can make CUSTOM colors that are unique to you or your customers

2) It's safe to use inside! (hello I'm in Chicago and really can't spray paint Nov - March)

3) Because it's water based, it's SUPER easy to clean up off of your hands, work surfaces, and if you get any inside your tumblers!

I get a lot of questions about what you can use to mix in with universal white to make your own paints. The pigments are really your only option when it comes to this stuff because anything else you try (other paints, micas, etc.) just aren’t strong enough to give you bright and vibrant colors.
