Frequently asked questions about the Tinting pastes category
What are Tinting pastes and what are they used for?
Tinting pastes are concentrated RILAK tinting pastes in 0.25L format used to tint paints and coatings to specific shades. They are added to base or white paint to achieve precise colours; available shades include N1 LIIV, N2 ROOSA, N5 green, N9 Grey.
Which shades of RILAK Tinting pastes are available in the category?
The range includes RILAK N1 LIIV, N2 ROOSA, N3 KOLLANE, N4 HELEROHELINE, N5 green, N7 PUNAKAS-PRUUN, N8 HELESININE and N9 Grey, all supplied in 0.25L containers.
How to calculate how much tinting paste to add to paint?
The amount depends on desired intensity and paint volume: use about 5–10% paste for a light tint and up to 15–20% for a stronger shade. Add incrementally and mix thoroughly until the colour is uniform.
Are these pastes compatible with acrylic and alkyd paints?
RILAK tinting pastes are generally compatible with most water-dispersion (acrylic) and alkyd paint systems, but always check the paint manufacturer's technical data. Make a small test mix first to confirm compatibility and final colour.
Can I mix different RILAK shades to create a new colour?
Yes, different RILAK pastes (e.g. N4 HELEROHELINE and N2 ROOSA) can be blended to obtain intermediate shades. Measure ratios carefully and create a sample swatch because small proportion changes significantly affect the final colour.
Are these pastes suitable for tinting interior and exterior paints?
RILAK tinting pastes can be used for both interior and exterior paints provided they are compatible with the base paint system. For exterior use ensure the tinted paint retains required weather resistance after tinting.
How should I store RILAK Tinting pastes and what is their shelf life?
Store RILAK pastes tightly closed in a cool, dark place, typically between +5…+25°C. Check the expiry/best-before date on the packaging; improper storage can alter paste consistency and colour.
Can I use RILAK pastes to match the shade of an old paintwork?
Yes, RILAK pastes can be used for shade correction and matching, but precise mixing and a comparison sample are required. Take a sample of the existing finish and perform a test application to verify the match.
How do the N1–N9 RILAK pastes differ within the range?
The N1–N9 pastes differ by base hue: N1 LIIV is sand, N2 ROOSA pink, N3 KOLLANE yellow, N4 HELEROHELINE light green, N5 green, N7 reddish-brown, N8 light blue and N9 grey. Each code provides a base tone for mixing and colour adjustment.
How should I mix the paste with paint — manually or with a mixer?
Use a mechanical mixer at low speed for uniform tinting, especially for volumes over 1 litre. For small test batches, thorough manual stirring with a paddle or stick is sufficient to achieve an even colour.
