Source for non-spray-can toner?
#1

Anyone know where I can get concentrated toner to be added to normal lacquer? I already have two reasonably nice compressed air sprayers. It seems a shame to have to use a rattle can for the toner application.
#2

Try this. I'm planning on purchasing some of their dyes soon because I too have the spray equipment and it would be cheaper in the long run than rattle cans.

Yep, TransTint is a good choice. Yes, it seems pricey but it only takes a few drops in your spray canister. You get a lot of mileage out of the 2 ounce vial.

Great! thanks. I'll order some up and experiment a bit (before hitting the radio...heh).

I have used Trans-Tint many times. Yes, a little goes a long way. Locally they are around $18 but you can get a bottle online for around $14.

You can also mix 2 tints together for a custom color.

The trouble with some satins is that once applied, you might not get as dark as you need. Second and third applications don't seem to make much difference. So, the toners are a good way to lay down extra color and build up your finish coat.

Please experiment before you do your set. Depending on the amount of tint, the thickness of the coat and how many passes you make all affect the degree of color.
Here's a partial color chart. Again, you can get darker if you need by adding more tint, or more coats.
