In spite of the probable hundreds of acrylic colors and color combinations available, I still can not find what I want. Does anyone know of a place that will make custom colors, either single colors or combinations, to order? What about making my own? To start with right now I need sweat shirt gray. As always, thanks!

This is polyester resin, takes a little more care to turn. it can chip but with practice gets easier. I went to my local craft supply, A.C. Moore to be exact and got a small amount of it to try at first. I prolly will not pursue doing more. I am not a big fan of acrylics myself, but i do turn them because people like them.
