Iwanted to know if the Mur's d art can be tinted? If you tint the wax will it give a deeper ,richer color over the tinted primer ?

Yes!

Nancy,First of all **Welcome to the forum **Now to answer you question.Yes it can be tinted as I have completed alot of Murs.projects tinting them light to dark golds,dark greens and so on.It is still a judgement call on your part as to how much tint or how dark you need to go.I know the golds and browns work well not sure about the blues or reds tho.
Take care.
Ken.

Thanks Ken
The color I wanted to add to the Mur's is a Greenish brown color. I still need the effect of the highs and lows. I was wondering about the wax also.

Nancy,If you are a certified SOIP please move your question to the trained App.Forum.I'll be more then happy to answer your questions there the best I can.

Hi Ken
Thanks again for the reply. On Friday I called CAL> for some quick answer to some of my questions
and that's why I didn't return to the forum.
Thanks Nancy

I ALWAYS TINT MURS 'D ART
I just pour in the tint, and mix it with a drill mixer (a paddle)
That way, if it gets bumped or scratched, the tinted murs makes it more inconspicuous.

Forumlas for Marmorino are close, but not dead on.

I like to tint it too and for the same reasons, nicks and dings are no longer an issue with a tinted base.

We tinted some today in a grey tone.
Guess it depends on the finish Nancy the wax is another color factor.

It works the same for me tinted or not. You still follow the same MOA, just with tinted Md'A. The values of the Md'A and the wax should be a little further apart, but aside from that, it is the same.

Actually, the color of the final finish is usually a little more natural and muted a bit. I find that if I want a brighter color, a white base is fine, but most people go for muted tones.

Thank You
Amy, Doyle ,Nancy, Fritz,and Vallie
All of the response was greatly apprieciated.I think I will tint the primer lightly and tint the wax darker to acheive what I am looking for.
