LANKA users...please advise me in getting the best results for Lake Silver
How should I mix the paint?
How should I apply the paint?
What tools do I need to apply paint?
How long should I leave paint before applying Lankga?
What is the best way to make the touch up unnoticeable?
Thanks

I'm about to do this with Denim Blue... here's the scoop from the advice people gave to me...
Let the paint dry MORE than 90 minutes. Maybe 5 hours or so. THEN langka it.
Don't mix 50/50 parts clearcoat and paint. First apply the silver paint and let it dry, then langka it. Then repeat with clearcoat the next day.
After cleaning area with Rubbing Alcohol, apply the paint with a clean toothpick. Not a q-tip. A brush might also work, but the idea is to build a blob of paint. A BIG blob. Langka will un-blob it, and you won't get brushmarks.
Be warned... I haven't done it yet myself. But I asked for advice, and these are the things people told me.

Right out of the gate the problem will be suspending enough metal flake to match the amount that was suspended in the paint. You will not get a perfect match. It will look great and only your hairdresser will know. Ok, only you will really know where you did it. I tried it two ways.mix clear coat with paint. do the paint and then the next day do the clear coat. They both look good.
You could either call and email Langka. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpfull.
