Sample Sets
Printed color charts never precisely duplicate the effects you will achieve using enamel products on metal. This is particularly true for transparents where background color and thickness of application strongly influence final results. In order to help you select the color you really want, sample packets are available. There is a 0.3 oz sample, about 1 heaping teaspoon of enamel and they are priced by the "grade" or letter after the name of the enamel.
