Colour your resin with confidence
Getting consistent, vibrant colour in resin starts with using the right pigment. Barnes stocks a range of pigments specifically selected for resin compatibility — they mix clean, won’t cloud your resin, and won’t interfere with the cure.
- ✓ Compatible with all Barnes resins — epoxy and polyurethane
- ✓ Highly concentrated — a small amount delivers strong, vibrant colour
- ✓ Won’t cloud or inhibit cure — colour that works with your resin, not against it
- ✓ Opaque and translucent options — solid colour or tinted effects
- ✓ Simple to use — add to the resin component before mixing hardener
How to use pigment in resin
- Measure your resin components as usual
- Add pigment to the resin part (Part A) — not the hardener
- Mix pigment through the resin until colour is even
- Add hardener and mix per product instructions
- Pour as normal — colour stays consistent throughout the cure
Start with a small amount — these pigments are concentrated. You can always add more.

Common Questions
What resins can I use these pigments with?
All Barnes resin pigments are compatible with Barnes epoxy resins (Epoxycast, Epoxyglass, Ultrapour, Megapour) and polyurethane resins (Supercast, Easycast, BQueen). Check individual product pages for specific compatibility notes.
How much pigment should I use?
Start with a small amount — these are concentrated. For most pigments, 1–3% of the total resin weight is enough to achieve strong colour. Add more if you want a deeper result.
Will pigment affect the cure?
Not if used in the recommended amounts. Very high pigment loads can affect cure time and final hardness. Stay within the recommended usage rate on the product label.
Can I mix pigments together?
Yes — you can blend colours to get custom shades. Mix them thoroughly into the resin component before adding hardener to ensure an even result.
What is the difference between opaque and translucent pigments?
Opaque pigments create solid, non-see-through colour. Translucent pigments tint the resin while allowing light to pass through — useful for jewellery and pieces where depth and glow effects matter.
When should I add pigment — before or after mixing?
Add pigment to the resin part (Part A) and mix it in thoroughly before adding the hardener. This prevents uneven colour distribution in the final piece.
