The additional colourant gives your paint more HIDE and body, helping it cover your old colour better. Now you have your SIMPLE white base, topped up with more white colourant, giving you a usable version of High Reflective White. Top up the gallon with white tint, you know, the stuff that squirts out of the machine – approx 4 ouncesĪnd, of course, it will be the trained paint technician doing this, not you. Grab a gallon of High Reflective White (the base) if they HAPPEN to have the type of paint you want pre-made in this colourĢ. This next idea is an OPTION, but it’s pretty slim pickin’s as not many of Sherwin William’s paints are actually available in ‘actual’ High Reflective White.ġ. ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE SHERWIN WILLIAMS HIGH REFLECTIVE WHITE (again, as told to me by a Sherwin Williams employee) Will it brighten it and cut back the blue undertone found in Extra White? Sure, but will it have that gloriously high LRV? Hard to say. It seems to me that it would take an AWFUL LOT of white tint to increase Extra White’s LRV by seven points. Extra White comes in at 86, making it a SOFT white (read about LRV HERE). High Reflective White has an LRVof 93, making it pretty darn WHITE white. 4 OUNCES should do it, but this can vary a bit depending on the type of paint you choose.Īnd while this is a possible solution, I won’t lie, I’m slightly sceptical. Ask them to top up the gallon with white tint, again, improving the coverage AND brightening it a stitch. Ask the paint store tech to grab Sherwin Williams Extra White (BTW, Extra White is ALSO a ‘base’ paint used to make other colours)Ģ. HOWEVER, if they aren’t too excited about the idea, here’s how it works…ġ. If you ask the tech for a gallon of High Reflective White and they say ‘no problemo’, then Bob’s your Uncle. (as told to me by Sherwin William’s employees)
#Reflector paint how to
HOW TO MAKE SHERWIN WILLIAMS HIGH REFLECTIVE WHITE Sooooo, why is it listed in the fan deck? Why is it offered as an option if it isn’t really an option?īecause it CAN be made. I’m just not totally sure why so many of my clients have a hard time getting it, saying that their paint store won’t make it for them/doesn’t carry it. So with this being said, I KNOW that High Reflective White is a great option and have the clients and personal experience to prove it. Fair enough, but that point could be made for MANY white paint colours – they simply don’t have the same hide (ability to cover old colours and look solid) compared to colours with a bit more meat on their bones ( lower LRVs). Without the warm nod of Alabaster or cool wink of Extra White, High Reflective White keeps things simple.Ī lot of paint store employees claim that it doesn’t cover well. High Reflective White is one of the most WHITE white paint colours on the market, which is why I refer to it so often.
However, there’s one particular white that’s not always the easiest to get, and that colour is Sherwin Williams High Reflective White.
When it comes to my Online Paint Colour Consulting, I have a few favourite paint colours that I refer to time and time again. The most popular HARD to get white paint colour
