I just spent some spare time and money over several weeks making my own tool to quickly and easily get good color pins in my photos and videos. My NLE video editing software (Sony Vegas Pro 8) uses color correction for the highs, mids, and lows. This is pretty normal for NLEs. It's not as easy as CM in Photoshop and I miss it.
I got some Golden paint in neutral gray N5: http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/color/heavybody/colors/1445infopg.php
I also got some of the matt heavy body acrylics in Carbon Black and Titanium White: http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/color/heavybody/mattehb.php
They turned out to be just a bit heavy for painting things. The thick paint leaves brush strokes in it that make for uneven pinning. I had to mix it with the medium and some water to get it thin enough to paint smooth. In hindsight I would get the black and white in this in the future: http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/color/fluid/matfld1.php
As a test, I painted the inside of some oatmeal lids. I glued strips of thin leather between them so they fold up and transport easily. It works pretty well, but I've only done a little testing. It makes it easy to pin the highlights, shadows, and neutral in any kind of lighting. So far I'm very happy with this and a I was going to do a full report. Until...
