Revel Paint Mixing Tips and Hints

I'm using only revel email paint and everything is going smoothly. But I need some colors that are obtained by mixing 2 colors in required % ( for example: brown, silkly-mattt 381 34% + rust, matt 83, 66%).
How to do this?
Well, the colors can be mixed in open air as long as the new color is stored in a air-tight container. I usually try a trial mixture(small amount to test) by using individual drops from a brush dipped in color. It is important to keep record of how many drops per color to get the one you need. Use the same ratio but in larger amount to mix more paint, enough for what you need. I usually mix mine in old plastic film canisters as the lids snap on for storage.
I do not consider using the right color from other brand of paint as I want to use only Revell colors.
