This is a good paint and I use it and will have more. That said, I add a bit of darker color to change the bright fresh form the mill color. Perhaps I should write my color mixing up. I have some wood tables (plastic) that seem OK for my eye. But I cannot go back to that color. So, buy this paint, use it to your satisfaction, and incorporate other colors. Keep in mind what color helps or hinders. Another idea is to watch those public television, How to Paint shows. They use mixes of colors, and show brush technique. Sometimes, I use a stroke. Sometimes, I am rough and smash that brush, in weathering or trying to get behind those wheels, where I should have already painted. Johh of Wilmer
