How to paint with 2 colors in 1 can?
Has anyone poured 2 colors of paint in one bucket and painted without mixing the colors. Been thinking about this for a while and am wondering if anyone has tried it?

I think it would be hard to keep the colors from mixing in a can. You may be able to pour 2 colors side by side in a paint tray and paint that way.
It might be tough to do, but maybe putting the colors in a paint tray would be easier?
What would your reason be to do this?
you would get an inconsistent color but if that is what you are looking for you could do it- why would you not want to mix the paints together?

Why don't you try it on a piece of cardboard? I would put the paint in a paint tray and try using a roller. I would think that initially you would get both colors on your roller but the more times you have to roll paint on your roller I think the colors will get muddled and mixed and you wouldn't have consistent results if you are trying to do this to a wall.
Never tried, but sounds interesting. Pic a wall and paint and give it a try. post pics of results. Good Luck
Depending on the viscosity of each paint one would float on top and the other sink. They could also blend together and you'd get a muddy mess. You'd be better off pouring in a paint tray.
Haven't tried it myself but sounds like a fun experiment! If it's a horizontal surface, you could try pouring them on separately, see what happens.
