Welcome to my Aztecing page. I am no expert to say the least. I am just a regular joe who is having some fun experimenting in different mixtures and ratios, hoping to find the right combination to give the illusion of what we all have come to love on screen. Sort of like looking for the Holy Grail :)
I hope that any part of these experiments may aid you in your own quest for perfection, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
And so I forge on.
The following pictures are of my latest trials and tribulations. I should note that I am testing now with Pearl-Ex powders. This batch of paint was mixed up flat, which is 1 part flat base and 3 parts future and just a pinch of interference blue.

If you have not already noticed, the flat pearl is even more subtle than previous satin mixes I have used. I corrected a few of the pictures in Paint Shop so you could make out some of the pattern. The main Aztec does not sheen as well as a satin mix, but I have to say I have come to really like these latest results. To the eye, the Aztec is practically invisible, and retains the white color of the base coat. One of the things that always bothered me was that with previous tests, the hull took on an almost yellow tinted color. Too much pearl I tells ya. My next round of experiments will be with another satin mix but with less pearl powder. So stay tuned folks, page 2 is a comin':)
