How can I tint a fire prism crystal Teal? I've seen Tamiya clear paint but I'm looking for a teal

**Desubot**

Couldnt you mix a bit of tamiya clear blue and green to make teal?

**WobblyGoblin**

Or Badger ghost tints? They are mixable so you can create a teal colour fairly easily, I would think.

Do you have access to an airbrush? I would expect it to be easier to get an even coverage rather than a brush.

I don't really have any experience mixing paint, but I'm open b to trying. I've considering getting an airbrush, well I have an old paasche airbrush but no compressor

id pick up a eye dropper and mix into a small disposable cup.

mix one drop at a time till you get the tint you want and make sure to make notes of how many drops.

thin with tamyia thinner or in a pinch isoproynal.

just take notes, its absolute hell when you forget your mixes or paint schemes.

I've used the Tamiya clear paints to tint the clear cockpit windows for the Eldar vehicles using only brushes. If you let it sit, it works well. There is no reason why you couldn't mix the two colours and do the same thing to the clear prism from the same sprue.
