Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for adjusting factory-made tintable paints at the point of sale by adding at least one gloss modifier to the factory-made tintable paints without substantially changing the amount of opacifying pigments in the tintable paints, so that a single color prescription can be used to tint the paints to a single color for any gloss or sheen. Such same color paints should have a color difference of less than 2.0 CIEDE2000 units. Also disclosed is an aqueous gloss reducer that contains mostly a matting agent with substantially no latex resin and substantially no opacifying pigments.
