Wall Stencils Question And Answer
Interior wall paint/Cavas paint?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is safe or okay for me to add and mix some canvas acrylic paint with interior home/wall paint and or primer??? I dont want to paint my entire room with it, i just happen to have bit of primer left from painting my room, and since i wanted to add some stenciling on my walls, i was wondering if it would be okay for me to add some acrylic canvas paint to the interior home primer paint in order to get the color i wanted for the stenciling, instead of having to buy a whole new color which im really running low on the cash =/ I would reallly appreciate it if anyone could give me any bit of advice or opinion on this... Thank you!! ;)

I would do this. I have used acrylic paint to tint latex paint for small projects. No problem.
As long as all the paints/primers you use are water based..ur good to go..it will be fine..do not mix the acrylic colorant to any solvent cut products...
you can , but if you are just going to do the stenciling , you could just use the acrylic colors you have , or if you are wanting to use up the primer , you can either do as you said or divide up the primer in to quart or pint size containers , go to sherwin williams find the colors you want and get them to tint it with the pigments the use for tinting paints , they might charge a dollar or two , but the one I go to here in SC never has charged me for tinting primers or paints I carry in from other places .
