Can red paint be added to a gallon of interference purple paint

Question

in error the store mixed this gorgeous gallon of interference purple/gold paint instead of copper metallic for me. The interference purple/gold is of no use to me, though beautiful in the Can!!! Could I add red paint to it to get more of an red/rusty/gold interference? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

If the store got the color wrong they should replace it.  You can add another color paint to it but you might not get the color you want.

Answer 2

You'll likely get a muddy brown by doing that. Take it back to the store and get them to mix it right this time.

Answer 3

As long as they are both turpentine based paints yes however will it finish the colour you want? try a bit of both on a sheet of paper and mix to a ratio you can work with so as to judge the colour yourself before committing the whole lot to a no end result.

Not sure what interference is meant in terminology but if they both have the same base it should not have any affect.
