US Coating Solutions' Saturant Prime is engineered to accept Universal Colorants to achieve the above listed stain colors. You can now purchase Saturant Prime in bulk and tint up what you need for a particular project without waste. You can tint as little as a quart, a single gallon to 5 gallons by following the formulas.

If you do not do your own tinting you can take the formula to your local paint store for tinting. By giving them this formula your stain should come out the same every time.

We recommend you always tint up a quart to get a sample of the end results before attempting a large project. This will also give you the ability to show your client a sample to have them sign off on the color. You can now tint up a quart of each color and make small samples of each color to show clients
